Step 1: Create the Body
Start by taking a small amount of yellow felting wool and rolling it into a ball. Use your felting needle to poke the wool repeatedly, shaping it into a smooth egg shape. Continue felting until the body is firm and holds its shape.
Step 2: Add Wings
Take a small amount of white felting wool and shape it into two small wings. Attach these to the sides of the body using your felting needle, making sure they are secure.
Step 3: Make the Beak
Use orange felting wool to create a tiny triangle for the chick's beak. Attach it to the front of the body, just below the eyes, using your felting needle.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Add eyes to your chick using small black beads or by felting black wool into place. You can also add a small tuft of yellow wool on top of the head for some extra cuteness.
