Baby Chick Wreath

Last Easter I found the little baby chicks on the clearance table for $1 a bag. There were around 20 in each.

Yes, I bought 5 bags!

How could I not?

So, since then, I had been searching for a idea and I found this from Design Editor. She really did a great job.

I thought that it was the perfect project to get rid of my hoarding bag loads of chicks.

By the way, I do think that they are really ugly & doubted myself when buying so many!

But I think that this looks really cute.

This is what I did

Use a flat polystyrene ring, the round ones take up too many chicks.

This wreath used about 100 chicks!!

Lucky I got a bargain.

Paint the foam with yellow, so that if any gaps show it will still look chicken.

Lucky for me I had left over from when I thought a bright yellow play kitchen would look great! 

I  started by sticking the chicks feet into the foam, but they didn't stay, so I used a hot glue gun.

 On the side on the ring you can see in the picture below how I glued them on.

  I twisted the heads around a little to look the same as the others.

Very cute I think!
