Concertina Chick Decoration

How to Make

1. Place an A4 piece of yellow card landscape and begin to draw vertical lines 3cm apart from each other.
2. Concertina fold along your vertical lines. When you get to the end, fold in half and stick the edges together using double sided tape to create fan shapes. Repeat steps 1 and 2 so that you have 2 fan shapes.
3. Using double-sided tape stick both concertina fans together to create a concertina circle.
4. Using the template draw around and cut out both sides of the eggshell from white card, and the beak, and wings from orange card.
5. Stick both sides of the eggshell onto the concertina circle leaving space in between for the eyes and beak.
6. Stick the beak on the centre of the concertina circle and 2 wiggle eyes above. Make sure the wiggle eyes are stuck onto two ridges of the concertina folds.
7. Stick an orange feather onto each wing.
8. Pinch the bottom of each wing together so that it can be stuck around one of the concertina folds at the back of the chick. Using both double-sided tape and sticky tape will make the wings more secure. Alternatively, you can use hot glue.
9. Cut a length of ribbon onto each wing approximately 30cm.
10. Create a loop in the ribbon and stick to the back of the chick. Using both double-sided tape and sticky tape will make the loop more secure.

Top Tip

Stick the features on the ridges of the concertina circle. Hot glue can also be used as a more secure alternative.
