Pom Pom Chicks (Easter DIY)

Googly eyes can make nearly anything super cute! Pop them on pom-poms with a few added details, and you’ve got an adorable little chick. Chirp, chirp! This is a fun, easy craft that’s great for kids and perfect for Easter.

I had Tracy Moore hands-on with a glue gun on Cityline making a pom-pom chick for National Craft Month. The full episode will be online after it airs on March 14th.

To make pom-pom chicks, you’ll need the following supplies:

Pom-poms
Googly eyes
Pipe cleaners (orange)
Felt (peach)
Hot glue gun
Fabric scissors
Wire cutters

I got all of my supplies from DeSerres.

Here’s how to make pom-pom chicks:

Cut a small triangle of felt for the chick beak. (If you want, also cut two ovals for wings.)
Use wire cutters to cut one pipe cleaner into four even pieces.

Twist two pipe cleaner pieces together to form a chick foot. Bend the foot at the ankle, which will allow your chick to stand on its own. Do this again to make a second foot.
Glue two pom-poms together to form the chick body.

Glue the eyes, beak, and feet onto the chick body. Side note: When I glued the beak, I put only a small dab of glue across the long edge of the felt, then tried tucking the glued edge into the pom-pom, which allowed the beak to stick out, rather than lay flat.
Make lots of friends for your little pom-pom chick!
