Do I have to sew my felt chick together?
No, you can also put the felt chick together using hot glue. Check out our free felt dragon pattern for more detailed instructions on how to do this. Just keep in mind that the glued edges may separate with repeated handling/play, especially with pulling the chick in and out of the shell.
What type of stitch is used to sew the felt chick together?
We used a blanket stitch to sew our chick and egg together. You can also use a running stitch like we did with our felt pumpkin. The running stitch is a bit easier to do, and it will definitely work, but it’s not quite as sturdy as the blanket stitch.
What size felt chick does this pattern make?
The egg is just over 4-1/4 inches tall. The felt chick itself is 4-1/2 inches tall, including its sprig of feathers and feet. The chick body is just under 3-1/2 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches across.
Do I have to sew the felt chick’s eyes?
No, you can also glue or sew on black beads for the chick’s eyes. Or you can use googly eyes!
Which came first — the felt chick or the egg? We’re not sure, but we love playing with this adorable spring chick and its egg house! Set your felt chick toy in an Easter basket, use it as a gift topper, or attach an ornament hanger to place it on an Easter tree. It’s so cute and easy to make!
