Materials for DIY Yarn Chick:

• Yarn
• Scissors
• Beads
• Pin
• Glue Gun and Glue sticks
• Cardboard, 2 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm rectangles with a slit in the middle
• Template, 5 cm and 6 cm circles

How to Make Baby Yarn Chickens:

Step 1: Wrap yarn around the largest rectangle pom pom template 150 times.

Count, count, count or you might lose track.

Step 2: Cut the excess yarn.

Step 3: Tie the loops together in the middle, and secure with a knot. Next, remove from the cardboard, then tie around the back, and knot tightly.

Step 4: Cut through the loops.

Step 5: Shape into a round ball using the larger circle template as a guide.

Trim the edges slowly and go around the pom pom ball at different angles to the finished pom pom is round in shape.

Step 6: Now, make another ball using the smaller cardboard and paper templates, following the same steps.

Step 7: Now, let’s make the feet of the chick. Make 3.

Step 8: Tie them together and cut off the excess yarn to form a single foot.

Repeat the steps to make another one.

Step 9: For the beak, follow the first step used in making the chick’s feet.

Next, cut away the excess to shape it into a beak.

Step 10: Using the smallest cardboard template, wrap yarn around 20 times and make the wings.

Note: keep the yarn pretty close together, but don’t wrap it all in one place, or you will have a ball, not longer wings.

Step 11: Make a pair of these to create the arms.

Step 12: Adhere the chick’s pom pom body and head together using a hot glue gun.

Make sure you don’t use too much hot glue, as the yarn sticks together pretty easily.

Step 13: Attach the wings to the body.

Use hot glue for this step, too.

Step 14: Glue the feet to the bottom of the body.

Step 15: Stick the eyes and the beak.
