Easter is coming; are your decors already up? If you’re still looking for DIY ideas, try making these easter chicks from AmyFamily DIY on Youtube. It’s simple, fast, and easy, and did I mention that it’s a no-sew project? You’ll definitely enjoy making these with your friends or family. Watch the video below to learn the step-by-step instructions.
Materials:
- 40 cm x 20 cm rectangular cloth
- measuring tape
- scissors
- different colors of felt
- hot glue gun
- cotton fiber
- rope (for the legs)
Directions:
Step 1
Get your fabric that measures 40 cm x 20 cm and lay it out. Cut a piece of felt into a crest shape and a little triangle for the beak. Place these in the corner. (See the picture below for the placement.) Next, cut three stripes of felt of different colors for the tail and put them overlapping the other. Now, fold your piece of cloth in half and mark the crease. Open it again and place the tails on the upper center, pointy corners facing outside. Attach them in place with hot glue. After this, apply some hot glue half a centimeter away from the edge where the felt pieces are glued. Fold the cloth and press it quickly while the glue is still hot. Apply hot glue again half a centimeter away from the edge on the side, then press quickly. Turn the piece inside out.

Step 2
Now make the wings. Put the corners of three felt sheets with different colors, and cut half a circle. Then, cut each layer of the wing piece a little smaller than the other. Attach all layers of the wing piece by gluing them. Repeat this step to make the other half of the wings. After this, attach one on one side of the fabric, then glue the other symmetrically on the other side. (See the picture below for the placement.) For the legs, cut a rope, treat the edges with fire, and tie knots at both ends. Next, open the piece by putting the two corners together, then fold the open edge inside about a centimeter and a half. Stuff it with cotton fiber, fix the legs in the middle of your chicks’ bottom, then glue the edges close.
