How to make our paper bowl easter chicken baskets.
Start by taking your paper bowl and cutting it exactly in half. If you are colouring your chicken, then simply coat the bowl in paint inside and out and then leave it to dry.
Take one half of the paper plate and glue a googly eye in position on one end. Then cut out a orange triangle for the beak and glue it down on the back of the paper bowl as can be seen in the picture above.
Now cut out a three bumped shaped for the crest, then stick it down on the back of the chickens head. Add a wing shape to the centre of the plate and leave it a moment to dry.
Cut out a length of ribbon to make the handle for your basket. Staple an end of ribbon to the top of each side of the paper bowl.
Finish by stapling the second paper bowl onto the back of the first to create your easter chick baskets. Why not fill them with some coloured shredded paper ready for hunting some little easter eggs.
