Make yourself an adorable baby chick popping out of an eggshell for Easter. They are so easy kids can make them too, and a free pattern download is included. Sewing with felt is perfect for beginners!

Felt is super inexpensive making it a great medium to practice sewing with. This project uses a blanket stitch for the body and craft glue to attach the smaller pieces.

The baby chicks are a perfect addition to Easter baskets or treats for Easter brunch at the children’s table. They only cost pennies, so you can make a whole bunch!

DIY Tutorial

Now you have everything you need to get started.

Step 1 – Cut out Template

Begin by cutting out your paper pattern pieces. Then trace each pattern piece with a pencil onto felt in the color of your choice.

Step 2 – Cut Out Felt

Carefully cut out the felt pieces you traced. Small craft scissors like these work best for cutting out the small pieces.

Step 3 – Adhere Hair and Face

Next, use craft glue to attach the hair at the top of the baby chick’s head.

In addition, glue the small circles onto larger circles to form eyes.

On the chick base that does not have the hair glued on, attach the eyes, beak and checks to the face with craft glue.

Step 4 – Assemble Chick Body

Now stack the front body piece with the face on top of the back body piece with the hair sandwiched inside.

Step 5 – Stitch Around Chick

Prepare your needle with thread in a coordinating color, and stitch around the two pieces with a blanket stitch.

Do not stitch all the way around. Leave a 1″ opening for stuffing.

Step 6 – Insert Stuffing

Stuff small pieces of polyester batting into the baby chick’s body until it is plump to your liking.

Step 7 – Stitch to Close

After stuffing, continue stitching to close.

Step 8 – Assemble Egg Pieces

Next, stack the two egg pattern pieces on top of each other.

Step 9 – Stitch Egg

Stitch around the egg shape, again with a blanket stitch, leaving the zigzag top open.

Feel free to use the other shapes included in the pattern download to decorate your eggshell. The pieces can be glued on with craft glue or stitched in place.

Step 10 – Insert Baby Chick in Egg Shell

Now you can insert the baby chick plush inside the cracked egg.

Your baby chick plush is complete!
