Cheep cheep Easter chick

Easter is synonymous with Easter chicks. These cute little chicks can be found in many varieties as decorations on the Easter table.

Eggs are also synonymous with Easter, especially in the form of eggs for baking and cooking.

We guess that after baking and cooking, you probably throw the eggshells away? You can, of course, continue to do that, but you can also use the eggshells to make these cute, little Easter chicks.

That way, you kill two birds with one stone - get Easter chicks for decoration and eggs for the food 🐣

You need to

  • Eggshells
  • Yellow paint
  • Orange paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Googly eyes
  • Small princess crowns
  • Bottom of an egg carton
  • Optional cress

How to do it

  1. Once you have finished cooking or baking with eggs, rinse and save the eggshells. Let them dry before you start painting. Alternatively, you can blow the eggs for the occasion.
  2. Paint half of the eggshells yellow, which is the base color. Then, paint a small triangle as a beak in orange, approximately in the middle of the shell. Glue eyes on above the beak.
  3. Glue the yellow eggs into the remaining half of the eggshells, which are still white, so that it looks like a little chick hatching. You can also add a small piece of white eggshell on top of the head if you like.
  4. Glue princess crowns on.
  5. Optionally, add cress to the leftover eggshells.
  6. Place the tray nicely on the table or in the window as decoration.
