A Felted Chick with Metal Feet
Each chick is made from carded wool, needle felted onto a polystyrene ball. Metal feet are then inserted into the ball. The beak is made from orange felt, needle felted onto the chick. The eyes are pushed into the ball.
1
Place the carded wool onto the polystyrene ball and attach it securely by pushing a felting needle up and down. Leave some of the wool unfelted as the chick's hair or tail.
2
Cut a beak from orange felt and felt it onto the chick using a felting needle.
3
Attach the eyes and the legs by pushing these directly into the felted polystyrene ball.
