Spring has sprung, and, just in time, our crafting expert, Bailey, is back to teach you how to make one of her favorite crafts, Chick in the Cup!
Supplies Needed:
- 1 clear plastic cup
- 1 toilet paper roll
- Shredded, crinkled brown paper
- Yellow tissue paper
- Orange construction paper
- Tape
- Scissors
- Black marker
Step One: Fill the clear plastic cup with the shredded brown paper and set aside.
Step Two: Cut the toilet paper roll in half to make it shorter.
Step Three: Cut the yellow tissue paper in a straight line, making a rectangle that is slightly taller than the toilet paper roll and long enough to wrap around it.
Step Four: Tape one edge of the yellow tissue paper to the toilet paper roll. Finish rolling it up and tape it at the other end, also.
Step Five: Tuck the extra tissue paper into the top and bottom of the toilet paper roll.
Step Six: Cut a triangle shape out of the orange construction paper for the beak, and tape or glue it onto the toilet paper roll.
Step Seven: Use a black marker to draw on the chick’s eyes.
Step Eight: Get the yellow tissue paper back out, and cut out two wings and some hair for your chick. The clue is to crumple the tissue paper up and mess with it to get your wings to look how you want them to look. Stick the chick’s hair in the top of toilet paper tube, and tape the wings to the sides.
Step Nine: Stick your chick into the cup!
I hope you had fun making this craft; I sure did!
