Instructions:
1. Print out and copy the pattern on to the correctly colored pieces and cut them out. You will need 2 body pieces, 4 feet, 2 beaks and 1 comb. Cut the comb with a little allowance out so it may be glued inbetween the body pieces.
2. Glue the beaks and the feet onto the 2 body pieces. With the backsides facing each and the comb inserted in the top, glue the 2 body pieces together. Dot the hen eyes above the beak.
3. Gather a couple of strands of straw and tie in the middle. Glue this then onto the body as seen in the picture.
4. Punch a small hole in the comb and tie a red thread through for hanging up.

Greeting Cards and Birthday Cards
There are so many occasions in the year when you need greeting cards. Whether it be a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday like Christmas or even for the birth of a baby, the reasons are many. Before you go out and buy another card, consider crafting your own personal cards. Creating hand made greeting cards can be so rewarding. Think of your cards as miniature works of art that you are giving to someone. Not only are you giving that special someone a moment of your time by creating that special card for him or her, but a hand made card will often be kept and cherished as a reminder of you.

Artist Trading Cards
Artist Trading Cards or otherwise known as ATC’s are created in the size of 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches or 64 x 89 millimeters (6.4 x 8.9 centimeters). These are small and self-made miniature works of art. Other than the size, there are no particular rules to follow. Combine different materials and elements to create unique and one of a kind cards. Sign, number and date the backs of your cards. These cards are not meant to be sold but if you like, there are groups that trade and collect these cards. You can find them on the internet in different craft forums.
