And it's that easy:
Which handicraft material do I need for the felt chickens? The felt chickens consist of the VBS-Creative set "Filzhühner", in which different colours and thickness Felt sheets and Wobbly eyes are included. These are processed into decorative chickens with the help of scissors and hot glue gun.
How do I make the felt chickens? Cut the two colored Felt sheet into 2 rectangles of 20 x 5 cm and 3 of 35 x 10 cm. The resulting rectangles must now be cut into symmetrical trapezoids. To do this, measure the longer side of the rectangle, divide the cm by three and mark the two places. Use a ruler to draw a line from the respective mark to the closer opposite corner. Now cut along the line. Place the trapezoid with the shorter side down on the work surface, cross the outer, pointed corners towards the front and fix the body with hot glue. Repeat the process for all chickens.
For comb, feet, beak and wattles, transfer the templates with a line-ex pen to the delicate pink or white Felt and cut them out. Attach the felt parts and Wobbly eyes to the body with hot glue.
How do my felt chickens become individual? Whether silver glance, with glasses made of wire or flower in your hair - individualize your chickens as you like!
