Find out here how small squares of fabric turn into cheeky chickens. A great decoration and also souvenirs during the Easter time!

Cutting and sewing the fabric
Download the design template for the chickens. For each chicken you will need a fabric square as well as felt blanks for comb, beak and feet. Cut all the required parts

Place a square of fabric in front of you with the right side up (printed side of the fabric) and place the beak and comb on the fabric Felt as shown on the design template. Place the second fabric square right side down on top of the first one. Fix everything with so Pins, that nothing slips

Sew the fabric squares together at the right, top and left fabric edge. However, take into account a turning opening on the left edge of the fabric (do not sew here)

Extra tip: Round off the fabric corners of the square with scissors, so that they can be shaped better later.
How the chicken is made
Open the fabric pocket still on the left and fold it so that the fabric seam on the left side is directly on the seam on the right side. Spread out the seam allowance and fix it with a Pin.

Lay a double jute cord and place it as legs in the two openings next to the watch Pin., making sure that both legs are about the same length. The fourth lower seam can now also be closed and the corners rounded off with scissors.
With the help of the turning opening you pull the sewn fabric cover now to the right. Form the corners with a pen or wooden spoon and stuff the chicken with filling material. Close the opening by hand

Pierce your Felt feet so that there is a small hole. Pull the leg jute cord through this hole and knot it at the end. The feet can be fixed at the knot with glue, so the knot is no longer Cord visible. At the end simply stick them Wobbly eyes on - ready is your chicken!
