Time for some Spring Friends! Chicks and rabbits!

These are tiny friends. The chicks are 1 3/8 inch peg boys and the rabbits are 1 3/4 inch peg boys. The design is my own and they are easy to make.

First paint the pegs the colors you want them to be and seal them with beeswax polish.

Using wool felt, cut out yellow wings for the chicks and brown ears and pink centers for the rabbits. I felted the pink centers to the ears but they could be glued onto the ears as well. (Gluing is probably the way to go if a child is making these pegs as these pieces are tiny and the felting needles are oh so sharp)!

I made the rabbit tails from tiny balls of wool roving but a tail cut from white felt would work just as well.

Using a craft glue, attach the wings to the chicks and the tail and ears to the rabbits. I found the rabbit ears look best when glued to the back of the head, rather than on each side.

Finally I used markers to draw eyes, beak and feet on the chicks and eyes, nose and mouth on the rabbits.

Happy Spring!
