Easter chicks from self-hardening clay with a feather for the tail

1   Divide the pack of clay into your chosen number of chicks. Make the body and the beak from the clay.

2   Attach the beak and cut it open with a pair of scissors.

3   Make eyes with the end of a brush handle.

4   Attach a feather for the tail. Leave the chicks to dry for approx. 24 hours, preferably on a wire grid.

5   Smooth with a sanding sponge once the chicks are dry.

6   Decorate the chicks further with Plus Color markers. You may have to use a thin brush for the fine lines . A tip: Place the egg in an egg cup when painting the dots.
