Hello! Welcome to another Creative Paperclay® tutorial! My favorite crafts are holiday crafts and with Easter fast approaching I will be doing a series of simple Easter decoration tutorials using Creative Paperclay®. The first of these is an Easter chick. How cute is he?



This is a simple tutorial and great for beginners.

You will need the following supplies:

Creative Paperclay®

water
templates for feet and wings (see below)


Easter Chick
Template for wings and feet. Please size for your needs.



Follow the steps below to make your Easter Chick.

Step 1

Cut end off the styrofoam egg (the wider end) so it can stand by itself.


Step 2

 Insert toothpick for the beak. Use glue to secure.



Step 3

Use foil to form the shape of the beak and secure with hot glue.

Step 4

Coat egg with white glue and cover with clay. Ensure you press on firmly so no air is trapped.

Cut out feet, smooth edges and set aside.

Step 6

Step 7

Attach wings using a dab of water and smooth seams.

Step 8

Attach the feet with a dab of water and smooth.

Paint the eyes.


Step 13

Paint the beak and feet orange. I used Americana Pumpkin.


Step 14

Use a tool to make a small hole at top of the head and at the tail to insert feathers. Add a little glue and insert feathers.
