Procedure

Step 1: Drawing A Rounded Triangle Shaped Body

To begin this craft, take a white circular paper sheet as the base of your craft and a pencil. Using the pencil, draw a triangular-shaped body of the hen over the base, in the center.

Step 2: Applying Glue Over The Drawn Body

Apply glue inside the drawn body of the hen, evenly, covering the whole.

Step 3: Pasting A Sunflower Seed

From the right of the drawn body, paste a sunflower seed at the back corner, horizontally tilted.

Step 4: Pasting More Sunflower Seeds

One by one paste sunflower seeds beside the first one in a line and make sure to keep the seeds a little over each other to give a 3D look of the hen.

Step 5: Completing Pasting Sunflower Seeds

Completely paste the sunflower seeds all over the glued hen base as shown in the image.

Step 6: Adding Comb And Beak Of The Hen

From a red paper sheet, cut out an opened beak and a curved comb of the hen and paste the beak on the left side of the body and the comb over the left top of the hen using glue.

Step 7: Pasting A Googly Eye

Using glue, paste a googly eye beside the beak over the body of the hen.

Step 8: Drawing Legs Of The Hen

Using a black pen, draw the legs of the hen beneath its body with 3 curvy claws in each.

Step 9: Applying Glue To The Peanut Shell

Take a half peanut shell and apply glue to the inner portion of it.

Step 10: Pasting The Peanut Shell

Paste the peanut shell on the left bottom side of the white base. This will be the body of a chick.

Step 11: Making More Chicks And Adding Their Features

Following the previous steps, paste more of the chick’s bodies on the white base randomly. Now, using the black pen, make their legs and curved claws beneath their bodies and also make a dotted eye over them. Using an orange sketch pen, make their beaks too.

Step 12: Making Worms In The Beaks Of Hen And Chicks

Using a green colored glitter pen, make dotted worms into the beaks of the hen and chicks. Make sure to make the worms curvy.

Step 13: Pasting Tree Leaves

Take some Christmas tree spiky leaves and paste them onto the white base randomly using glue to make the craftwork look like a real garden.
