One sheet- chicken

2016_Kueken

Last year I made these little chicken with fabric. If you belong to those not knowing how to sew you nevertheless don’t have to do without them. Supposed you’re disposing of some DIN A4 paper, scissors, glue and some colored pencils or felt tip pens. One sheet of paper will make two little chicken. Therefore divide the sheet in thirds on its long side. Fold it and smooth well enabling you to tear the thirds apart. Thus the look of the paper edges will come closer to the look of the chicken’s feathers. The free template shows that two thirds will make chicken and the last one is used for legs, crown and tail. You may use the template directly and cut out the different pieces. You should then color crown and tail on the back side of the paper. You may as well take some new papers, divide them and draw chicken parts. The chicken’s body can be decorated with dots, stripes or other designs before glueing it. 2016_Kueken2Close the small sides of the chicken’s bodies to form a roll. Then glue one open side of the roll enclosing both legs. Pay attention to have the chicken’s faces centrally arranged over the their legs. They’re now ready to be filled with small chocolate eggs or other sweets. Glue second open side crosswise then and enclose crown and tail. Note the guests’ names on both sides of your chicken if you want to use them as place cards.
