Glitter Chicks

So where does the time fly? Some days just seem to drag on, and then others go by – whooosh! – so fast…
This week has absolutely been a Whooosh Week, as weeks in between Weekends Away tend to be. Jemimah is here visiting, I am having a group of girlfriends over for our monthly get together tonight, Nathan has had to work late all week, Easter is rapidly approaching – with basket treats and Sunday clothes to still be bought and bags to be packed for our trip to my grandmothers… And I haven’t even mentioned work.
This is one of the weeks when there is so much I want to do that I feel full to overflowing with blessings.
One of the things that I haven’t been able to get to lately has been finishing some of my own personal projects… Here is one I started a while back and have yet to finish, but I think you will get the idea…

Glitter Chicks:

First I started with a simple Styrofoam chick that I found at craft store.

Next I tore off his rather sad feather wings and tail and replaced them with wings I cut out of paper scraps, and a tail made out of a snip of paper fringe garland. I attached them both with hot glue.

For the finishing touch I lightly coated him with craft glue using a sponge brush and covered him with white glitter, shaking off the excess. I also covered his paper wings in white glitter and outlined them with silver glitter.

I have 4 chicks total (one for each of us) that I mean to finish and attach to the tops of some boxes that I have that also need to be covered and glittered… but alas that hasn’t happened yet. I am contemplating taking them to finish at my grandmothers this weekend so that would at least be finished for next Easter…
