A few friends looked after our chooks while we were away. I thought an appropriate thank you gift for the chook-sitting kids would be some miniatures of our chooks.

Using the 'Baby Chick' instructions in The Sweater Chop Shop book, some felted jumpers, and rescued buttons, I created....

...mini Tara, Mable, Dunno, Lollie and Wanda.

These cute little chicks are so quick and easy to make (once I followed the instructions properly instead of trying to do my own thing).

I'm not sure the real Tara and Mable were impressed.

While on the topic of felt toys. Have you seen this incredibly lovely list of felt toy tutorials?
