Advent Days 19 and 20 --A Christmas Freebie!

This one is a little different. Instead of music, I'm going to give you a tutorial to make a cute little partridge chick ornament to hang in your tree, and you also get the original artwork to use as you please. Cute chick. I think you'll like her.

First thing you'll need to do is download the template. It's here.

Next, cut all pieces apart.

Lay the pieces on contrasting felt and draw around each piece (you'll need 2 of the blank chick outline). 

Cut the pieces out carefully, using small, sharp scissors.

Lay the template pieces in this order:

1. Both blank pieces, the main face piece.
2. Set the wing piece aside for now.
3. Using a blanket stitch, Sew all pieces together at all edges.
4. Using a French knot, make eyes.
5. Embroider the markings in the wings as you please.
6. Glue the wing to the body.
7. Cut a small square of orange felt and position for beak.
8. Glue legs on blank piece in appropriate place.
9. Cut a tall feather or two to put on top of the chick's head.
10. Attach a string or ribbon to the back of the chick's head for a hanger.

Feel free to use the artwork in any legitimate, moral way, but please do not claim my work as your own. Enjoy!
