Things you’ll need:
Pastel felt sheets
Orange foam
Suckers
Google eyes
Yellow feathers
Bakers twine
Needle and scissors
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Things to do:
1. Create a pattern for your egg shell. The oval should be roughly 5-1/2 inches across and 7-1/2 inches tall. Trace the pattern onto felt and cut out two oval shapes.
2. Cut one of the ovals in half with a zigzag edge.
3. Use a needle and bakers twine to stitch the felt pieces together, creating a little pouch. Tie the ends of the bakers twine in a bow.
4. Fill the pouch with yellow feathers.
5. Embellish the front of the pouch with felt stickers.
