A Needle Felted Chick in a Plastic Egg on a Stand
Each chick is made from carded wool, needle felted onto a polystyrene egg. It is then put inside a two-piece plastic egg which is placed on a Foam Clay stand.
1
Place wads of carded wool onto the polystyrene egg. Attach the wool to the egg by moving the felting needle up and down. NB: the longer you felt, the denser and thicker the result.
2
Felt the wings separately from carded wool on the needle felting foam pad. Felt them onto the needle felted egg.
3
Felt the eyes and the beak separately on the needle felting pad and then felt these onto the nearly finished chick.
4
A stand for the egg: Form a Foam Clay ball and push the bottom of the two-piece egg into the ball. Let it dry and place the felted chick inside the egg.
