Easter paper craft using egg-boxes

You might think how is it possible to make decoration using egg-boxes. It's really simple and I think this is the most lovely Easter decoration on my site.

Take an hour or so, a paper egg-box, some felt, an egg boxes few other things and your creative two hands and create wonderful chickens!

The following two step-by-step guideline will explain you how to make them. Visit my site www.marcels-kid-crafts-com to see the pattern and the step-by-step pictures.

You'll need:

* egg-box (for the body and the wings)

* all purpose adhesive

* scissors

* red felt (for the crests)

* yellow cardboard (for the beak)

* feather (for the tail)

* white paper (for the eyes)

* black marker

* pen


The steps:
Print and cut the patterns out.
Outline the patterns.
Cut out pieces. (The wings are made of the lid of the egg-box.)
Cut the middle part, the peaks of the box.
Cut the bottom of the peak round as shown.
First, glue the two red felt pieces about the middle of the peak.
Next, glue the beak as shown and hold it for a few minutes.
Then, glue the edge of the first wing on the back of the chicken.
Do the same with the second wing.
Glue the two white eyes and draw two dots with the black marker.
Next, is the feather.
Glue it on the back of the chicken between the wings.
Hold it for a few minutes.
Finally, glue the crest on the top of the chicken and hold it until it stands firmly.
Wait 5-10 minutes until everything completely dried.
