Hens from Polystyrene Eggs decorated with Foam Clay, Card and Feathers

1 Cover a 7 cm polystyrene egg with Foam Clay.

2 Print out the templates which are available as a separate PDF file for this idea. Cut out a beak, a cockscomb and feet from card, using the templates whilst the egg is drying.

3 Attach the cut-out card parts and two small polystyrene balls for the eyes using small blobs of fresh Foam Clay.

4 Make a hole downwards in the back of the hen and insert the feather into the hole.

5 Roll two small black Foam Clay balls and press them onto the eyes.

6 You can make small chicks using 5 cm polystyrene eggs and 1.5cm diameter polystyrene balls for the eyes.
