Materials & Tools

A 0.2 mm line, a thin needle, scissors 

Procedure

Step 1

The chick consists of four triangles. Sew the triangles using a flower pattern. First, sew 6 flowers and then add one less in each successive row. Continue the procedure until there is only one at the top; sew the line in at the top (figs. 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d).

Step 2

Create the eyes by stringing a neon rocaille onto a needle and line and threading it through the sewn surface in a suitable position. String a black rocaille and thread the needle and the line back through it and tie a firm knot. Use the same procedure for the second eye; sew the eyes before sewing up the entire chick (fig. 2).

Step 3

Sew the triangle together and create a pyramid. Sew a Twin into the points, tie the points together: only the comb made from pink Twins is not tied up (fig. 3a). When sewing the sides, don’t forget the beak and the wings made from Twins; sew the pyramid (the chick) together with a neon rocaille (fig. 3b).

Step 4

Make the beak and the wings from Twins according to figs. 4a, 4b and 4c.
