Kayleigh's Crafts - Make Your Own Chick Collage

Hello!

For Easter we are making this adorable chick collage!

To make this yourself, have a look at our YouTube video or follow this step-by-step guide.  

You will need:

• Chick Template (Download here)
• Scissors
• Something to colour with (pens, pencils, paint etc)
• Glue (PVA or Stick)
• Tissue Paper

Step 1:

Download and print the chick template. 

If you're unable to print the template then draw out some shapes like the ones below: 

• A large egg shape to be your chick's body
• x2 large oval 'sausage shapes' for the wings
• x2 smaller oval 'sausage shapes' for the feet
• x2 circles for the eyes
• x1 triangle for the beak

Step 2:

Colour in the beak, feet and wings. The eyes can be left white or can be coloured in. 

Once these shapes are coloured in, cut them out and put them to one side.

Step 3:

Take a small piece of tissue paper and scrunch it up into a small, rough ball. 

Glue a small part inside your chick body, make sure not to glue the whole body as your glue will dry up too quickly! 

Glue down your tissue ball and repeat until the whole chick body is covered.

Step 4:

Take the beak, feet, eyes and wings you cut out earlier and place them in position over your chick body. Once you're happy with the placement, glue each piece down on the top of your tissue paper. 

When you're done... 

Have a think about what other things you can use for your collage. See what you have around the house, could you use magazines or newspaper? Ribbon or pom poms? 

Instead of tissue paper, we used yellow feathers for this chick:

Introducing Kayleigh's Crafts!

Introducing... Kayleigh's Crafts!

While the UK is in isolation and missing out on fun family activities outside the home, Creative Eye and Norden Farm Centre for the Arts have partnered together to bring some of those activities to you in your own home. 

Free, crafty fun for all the family brought to you by Kayleigh’s Crafts! 

A new episode coming every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Each online video tutorial will feature a craft that can be made with items found around the home or that can be picked up as part of your essential supermarket shop while in isolation. 

Each video is also accompanied by a step-by-step ‘how to’ blog post (right here!) for each craft to follow along at a slower pace. 

Tune in this Saturday (11th April 2020) for the first episode of Kayleigh’s Crafts.

What do we have planned for 2019?

We've had an amazing 2018 over at Creative Eye and we can't wait to kick off the new year! 

Our new planner, ready to start the New Year!

One of our Christmas presents this year was some wonderful designs by Amber over at Pulling Designs. She's a very talented graphic design artist who made these images for us, to show off the many services we offer! How many of our services can you spot?

What do we have planned for 2019?

We will be offering lots of services including (but not limited to) events, entertainment, decorations, balloons, photography, videography, beauty services and promotional and design work. 

We will be updating this blog more regularly with tips and tutorials, reviews, videos and photos and behind the scenes of Creative Eye. Feel free to sign up to receive updates for this blog as well as signing up to our monthly newsletter, which you can do on our website at www.ceye.co.uk. 

We are adding even more party options for children of all ages as well as new characters to choose from for parties and meet and greets. 

This year we are working with a talented musician in starting up a tribute act. We will be helping with promotional material and marketing as well as booking them in for events. Watch this space for the announcement of this act and how to book them in the upcoming months. 

Over Easter we will be hosting an Alice and Wonderland themed Tea Party for children and parents. We will have Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and of course, the White Rabbit leading the way to the party!

During the half terms and the summer holiday we will be holding workshops for children. We had great success with our summer workshops in August 2018 which featured slime, science and a dance party. We will be hosting similar workshops this year with many more themes to come.

We will begin our workshops for adults this year with lessons in photography, film and beauty services, taught by professionals in the industry. 

We'll be ending the year with our Winter Wonderland party featuring the Snow Queen, Snow Princess and of course the loveable Snowman! We'll be hosting our party with our entertainers, arts and crafts activities, games, a disco, balloon modelling, food and plenty of photo opportunities. There will even be a special visit from Father Christmas himself.
