| Playful hatching chic among other vintage Easter toys. |
This chenille yarn wrapped chic is very easily made with only a few supplies: one large plastic egg, masking tape, ribbon for a hanger, both yellow and white chenille yarn, two black pom poms, Sculpey and white school glue.
Open the plastic egg and insert a ribbon for the hanger; knot this on the inside of the egg. Shut the egg and cover the entire outside surface with masking tape. This will make it easier for the yarn to stick to the egg. Smear on glue and wrap the egg with yarns as you go. I wrapped the lower half first with white chenille yarn and then the upper with yellow chenille yarn. Paste on the black pom poms for eyes and then shape a little beak for the chic using Sculpey or any other oven-bake clay you have on hand. Glue this beak on and hand the big hatching chic from an egg tree branch or display it inside of a child's Easter basket.
