Easter cards: chicken in the nest

Make Easter cards yourself even a small child - that's why they are good. True, some Easter cards are better for children to do under the supervision of adults: do not trust a small child with sharp scissors or an adhesive gun.

Easter cards: chicken in the nest

Chickens are one of the most popular plots of Easter cards and handicrafts. We suggest you make a postcard to Easter with a large chicken sitting in the nest. For the production of this Easter card, we will need:

• 
  thin color cardboard
• 
  brown paper
• 
  half of a wooden egg
• 
  moss or hemp
• 
  thin rope
• 
  adhesive in stick ("pencil")
• 
  glue gun
• 
  acrylic paints (light blue, yellow, white, light pink)
• 
  Brushes for paint of different thicknesses
• 
  thin black marker
• 
  wadding
• 
  down feathers
• 
  two buttons
• 
  scissors
• 
  scissors with shaped blades
• 
  hole puncher
• 
  postcard template

First, we translate the template 1 into a thin colorcardboard and cut it with a conventional scissors (the size of the template can be changed depending on the size of the postcard we need). We fold the cut out card in half from left to right along the fold line and cut the top and bottom of the postcard with scissors with figured blades. Template 2 is transferred to brown paper and cut out using scissors with shaped blades.</ p>

Now start making chicken. Take half of the wooden egg, paint it with light blue acrylic paint and let the paint dry. With a thin black marker draw on the convex part of the egg two eyes. At the top of each eye, draw a small dot with white acrylic paint.

The yellow paint draws a beak, and when it dries,circle it with a thin black marker. White paint paint on the beak of glare. Using cotton wool, we put a light pink paint on the cheeks of the chicken to create a blush effect. On the vertex we glue several downy feathers.

Now we collect from individual elements a postcard. We paste the brown paper on the front side of a cardboard cardboard with adhesive in the stick. Put the chicken in the center of the postcard and glue it with a glue gun. At the bottom, we glue moss, hemp or other similar material to make a nest.

In the left upper part of the postcard we make a holeusing a punch, we pass a rope through it and tie its ends with a knot. On the front side of the postcard, in the right upper part, we stick one button. The second button is glued from behind, exactly opposite the first one.

Take a piece of rope, do at one enda small loop to the size of the button and put on the buttonhole, glued to the back of the postcard. The second end of the rope is glued to the button on the front of the postcard. If necessary, cut off the extra rope.

From a small piece of rope, make a small bow and paste it on the button on the front of the postcard. Easter card ready!
