Felt Crafts - Sewing Crafts - Spring and Easter Crafts - Felt Hen

You can sew this hen and use it in different ways:

1. Create a set of these as egg warmers. Egg warmers are decorative and practical. After boiling an egg, place the egg inside of this felt figure to cover it and keep it hot until breakfast.
2. Another example would be to create a doll out of the pattern. Sew as written in the instructions below, stuff slightly and sew the bottom closed. It can be used to decorate Easter baskets.
3. This tip came from the HGTV crafts board. Create these figures for kindergarten kids to use as hand puppets.

 

 

Supplies Needed:

- White textile felt 3-4 mm thick
- stiff red and yellow felt scraps for sack,
  beak and comb
- stiff felt in red for comb and face sack
- 3 yellow flower brads
- 2 black seed beads
- white sewing thread
- fabric or textile glue
- artist chalk for the cheeks

Instructions:

1. Print out the pattern to a size that you would like to use.
2. Transfer and cut the pieces out of the felt. You will need two body pieces. The body is made using the soft felt and all other pieces using the stiff felt.

4. Use textile glue to glue the beak and sack onto the hen.
5. Sew on the seed bead eyes.
6. Punch the ends of the flower brads through the front of the hen and close the brads on the inside of the body.
7. Brush on rosy cheeks.
