This month is National Craft Month and we're celebrating by kicking off with kids crafts. GlueArts Adhesives are not only perfect for crafting but perfect for kids too! They're kid and teen friendly!
Designer Patti Milazzo has the cutest project for you today to celebrate spring and sweet spring chicks! It's the perfect idea for Sunday school crafts, preschool, home school and much more.
Spring Chick Puppets
GlueArts Designer: Patti Milazzo
Supply List:
Glue Arts-
Glue Glider Pro
1/4 Perma Tac Cartridge Refill - Pro
Mini Adhesive Squares
Adhesive Squares
Spooled Ribbon Adhesive
Other: Bella Blvd pattern paper (Spring Flings & Easter Things)
Instructions:
First, cut a rectangle for the body, punch out 2 circles for the wings and 1 small triangle for the beak. I cut this rectangle to 3 ½” high by 5 ½” wide to create the tube. Scalloped circles make cute wings and the triangle beak is trimmed from a larger triangle punch.
Use adhesive to line the top backside of the rectangle as well as the front right side. I used Ribbon Adhesive which allowed me to leave the backing on for little ones to easily peel it away later. But any of Glue Arts Adhesives will work fine, including the Glue Glider cartridges or Adhesive Squares.
Fold the circle wings in half, matching sides if you’re using a scalloped edge. Then apply Perma Tac Adhesive with the Glue Glider to the inside and press closed.
Next, remove any adhesive backing from the rectangle and roll it into a tube shape and press to secure. Before sealing the top, add a few feathers. You can secure these a bit more with a few added Adhesive Squares, if needed. Then press the top closed.
Use the Mini Adhesive Squares to attach the wings, beak and small circle punch eyes to complete these
li’l chics!
