Colourful chickens made from eggs

Start by carefully removing the existing loops from the eggs. Be careful not to damage the eggs, especially if they are made of a fragile material, and now turn your attention to the colour scheme.

Use pastel colours to paint the eggs. These colours give the eggs a soft, spring-like appearance. You can opt for a uniform colour scheme or choose different pastel shades for a colourful mix. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step, which is to bend the comb for the egg from the decorative aluminium wire.

Once you have bent the desired shape, twist the ends of the wire to reinforce them. Use hot glue to fix the wire comb in the perforations of the egg. The hot glue ensures that the wire stays securely in place without slipping, and use an awl, a useful craft tool, to carefully poke two small holes in the egg, which will later serve as a holder for the feet. Now attach the feet to the pre-punched holes using a little hot glue. Make sure that everything is securely fixed so that the egg is stable later on.

The last creative step is to draw the faces on the eggs. First, sketch out the facial features with a pencil, which will help you to check the proportions and make any corrections. Once you are happy with your design, colour in the faces carefully.
