How to craft pom-pom hens and chicks...

Pom-pom hens for your doll
barnyard.

       Pom-pom hens are so easy to assemble but younger children will still need help from adults with the hot glue; using other types of glue over complicates the process. It takes a mere moment to finish these little soft cuties. Add a much detail as you like to give them character.

Supply List:

  • acrylic pom-poms 1"
  • red and orange felt
  • colored craft feathers
  • google eyes
  • hot glue and hot glue gun (adult supervision)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Glue two pom-poms of equal size, preferably one inch wide, on top of each other.
  2. Cut from the red felt the comb and the waddle if you wish... I just attached a comb to each of my samples with hot glue.
  3. Glue on google eyes.
  4. Cut feet and beaks from the orange felt and glue these on.
  5. Poke in tail feathers using hot glue and brightly dyed craft feathers.
