If your elastic isn’t long enough you can always tie more elastic on.
How to Make



- To start, cut a length of white elastic (64cm).
- Starting from the middle of the elastic, thread both ends through 3 yellow beads.
- Next, thread both ends of the elastic through 4 beads in the sequence of; 1 yellow bead, 2 black beads and 1 yellow bead.
- Thread both ends through 3 beads in the sequence of; 1 yellow bead, 1 orange bead and 1 yellow bead.
- To start the body of the chick, thread both ends of the elastic through 4 yellow beads.
- For the wings, thread 3 yellow beads onto one of the ends of elastic. Pull the elastic back through the middle bead only.
- Thread another yellow bead onto the same elastic. Thread the elastic back through the previous row of 4 yellow beads.
- Repeat previous steps on the other side of the chick to create 2 wings.
- Finish the rest of the chick’s body by threading both ends of the elastic through 4 yellow beads and then thread both ends of elastic through 3 yellow beads.
- For the foot, thread an orange bead onto one end of the elastic, loop it back through the first yellow bead on the previous row of yellow beads and tie a knot.
- Repeat for the other side by looping the other length of elastic through the last bead in the previous row of yellow beads.
- Trim the elastic.
- To finish, loop a split metal ring on the elastic at the top of the chick.
