Creative terracotta chickens as egg warmers: an eye-catcher for your breakfast table
What you need:
Before you get started, make sure you have all the materials you need to dive straight into the crafting fun. You can easily find all these materials in our online shop.
Step 1: Laying the foundation - painting terracotta pots
First, take the terracotta pots and paint them however you like. Let your creativity run wild and use acrylic paints to breathe life into the pots. Whether bright colours or subtle shades, there are no limits to your imagination. Make sure you allow the paint to dry thoroughly before continuing.
Step 2: Transfer feathers and beaks - shapes from foam rubber
Now it gets trickier: transfer the templates for the feathers and beak to the foam rubber. Cut out the shapes precisely. Foam rubber is a soft, flexible material that is easy to cut and shape. It is best to use sharp scissors for clean edges.
Step 3: Assemble - the chicken look is created
Start by attaching the cut-out foam rubber pieces to the painted terracotta pots. Use hot glue, for example, to ensure that everything is firmly attached. Attach the comb, tail and beak in the appropriate places.
Step 4: Glue on the eyes - the finishing touches
To bring your chickens to life, glue on the eyes. Make sure they are symmetrical to achieve a cute and realistic look. The eyes give the chickens personality and charm!
Step 5: Final assembly - the chickens are ready
Assemble the finished terracotta pots as chickens. Place them on your table so that they can act as cute egg cosies. Your unique chickens are a real eye-catcher and will delight you and your guests.
Have fun making your own personalised egg cosies - turn your breakfast table into a work of art!
