Chenille Crow Plant Stick / Bookmarker / Puppet

This crow is soft and fuzzy and can be used for many purposes. He will be happy decorating a green plant, saving a page in your favorite book or can even be a cute puppet character to entertain the kids. This craft is easy for kids to make and caution is advised when using the glue gun.

For this project you will need:

- 3 x 50 cm or 20 inch black chenille stems
- 1 craft stick
- glue gun (supervision is always advised when kids are using a glue gun)
- wiggly eyes
- scrap piece of yellow felt
- 3 black feathers

Recommended Ages: 9 and older

Time required: about 15 minutes

Instructions:

1. Braid three chenille stems together.
2. Cut a 15 cm or 6 inch piece of the stem off of the braided chenille. Curl both pieces in a snail shape.
3. Holding the small snail shaped curl together, glue it to the top of the craft stick. This will be the head.
4. Now hold the larger snail shape together and glue it below the head. This is the body.
5. Cut a piece of the yellow felt in a triangle. This will the beak. Glue it on with hot glue.
6. Glue on 2 wiggly eyes.
7. Take 2 of the feathers and cut down to fit the side of the body.  Glue a feather on each side of the body. These are the wings.
8. Glue one feather to the backside of the craft stick. Make sure that the feather can be seen behind the head.
