These cute little chicks were made from left over Valentines Day sticky foam heart bought in the big buckets from Wal-Mart after Valentines Day for about .75 cents for 500 foam stickers.

2.  take the small 1" foam hearts and cut in half

3.  measure out 1/4C. of jelly beans and place in the sandwich bag and shake to the corner of the bag

4,  twist the bag and wrap the pipe cleaner near the jelly beans and twist closed

5.  cut the sandwich bag about a 1/2" above the pipe cleaner

6.  pull the backing off the 2" foam sticker and position the bag of jelly beans on the heart

10.  cut a strip off the orange felt about a 1/2" wide, and cut triangles from the felt

11.  fold the triangle in half  and run a small bead of hot glue along the "V" of the triangle

12.  quickly place it to the pom-pom where the little beak goes and hold in place for a few seconds

13.  glue the little eyes in place you got them made

I have seen them made with feathers in place of the half of a heart, but I couldn't find the little yellow feathers for the wings...  I guess I was too late to get them since it is almost Easter.  So I had tons of the little hearts and said hey this will work,  Hope your kiddo's like them!
