Easter - all Christians look forward to this day with special trepidation. The brightest and purest holiday of Easter is celebrated on the same day by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Various types of Easter souvenirs will traditionally appear in stores, but why not try to make them yourself? After all, made with your own hands Easter crafts They are not much inferior to store-bought counterparts.
There are many wonderful Easter ideas, many of which can be done by the whole family, introducing even small children to needlework. Making your own crafts for Easter can be accompanied by stories about the history of this holiday.
The symbolism of the holiday is very important. Traditionally, its symbols are something that in one way or another means the renewal of life - these are Easter streams, Light is the Easter fire and Life itself (Easter cakes, eggs and rabbits).
Easter eggs are the most common holiday symbol that marks the victory of life over death. Traditionally, they should be red, but today eggs are decorated in every way. But still, the color red is of great importance. After all, according to legend. when Mary Magdalene came to the ruler Tiberius to report the miraculous resurrection of Christ and brought him an egg as a gift, he said: “This is impossible, just as it is impossible for this egg to turn red.” And the egg turned red in the hands of Tiberius! Since then, red has meant the victory of life over death, renewal.
For more than a century, this tradition has existed: sending beautiful Easter cards to loved ones. They depict not only the symbols of the holiday, but also all the beauty of spring blossoms. And also cute chickens, bunnies, flowers, Easter cakes.
Decor options easter egg so many. They depend on what materials are used: paper, embroidery, just threads or beads. But first you need to prepare it.
Preparation for Easter egg
The egg-shaped blank can be:
- wooden blank
- foam blank
- blank made from natural material
- non-standard blanks
Wooden egg blank
Perhaps the most convenient would be a foam blank. And all because it holds its shape perfectly without being too hard. You can easily stick pins, etc. into it.
Styrofoam egg blank
But the good thing about making Easter crafts with your own hands is that even the blank can be made from scrap materials!
In the most ordinary raw egg we have to make two small holes: at the top - no more than 2 mm, and at the bottom - about 5 mm in diameter. For this purpose we need an awl or a fairly thick needle. After these procedures, the white and yolk will easily pour out from below. All you have to do is wash the shell and dry it.
A plastic egg from the well-known children's chocolate delicacy can also be used as a blank - it is quite possible to braid it with beads or tie it.
Easter eggs made of beads
Beaded eggs are distinguished by their elegance and always attract attention. This is quite painstaking, delicate work, but the result is always impressive. We need to weave a special pattern, and then carefully transfer it to the egg, onto which we have previously applied a thermal sticker. But if you have not done beadwork before, it will be a bit difficult, although such a detailed master class as this will be an excellent help in your first creative experience of this kind.
Easter eggs with embroidery
Why not move away from the 3D egg standard by making a flat pendant with embroidery? It looks very cool, original, and I can’t say that the work is difficult to do. IN detailed master class describes how to embroider and assemble such an unusual egg. The only difficulty, perhaps, will be that the embroidery itself will take some time. But the result is worth it!
You can still stay with the traditional idea of a voluminous egg, and in this case, Krestik recommends paying attention to the master class on creating. Only instead of Christmas ball we will use an egg-shaped blank. Rest assured, the souvenir will be very delicate, everyone will want to take a closer look at it, or even become the owner of such beauty.
Easter eggs made of felt and fleece
If you do this unusual gift for Easter with your own hands, rest assured that it will be appreciated. It can even act as a talisman, because souvenirs made from these materials always look bright and unusual.
And, by the way, you can definitely involve children in preparing this souvenir. The main requirement is accuracy, but there will be no difficulties in the process of making such an egg, everything is extremely simple. However, judge for yourself by watching the master class “Easter eggs made of felt - a wonderful souvenir on a bright day!”
Garland of eggs made from felt
All you have to do is stock up on these incredibly useful materials for handicrafts, and then the work will go like clockwork.
Knitted Easter eggs
Even if you know little about knitting, you will be able to make beautiful knitted Easter eggs. It is enough to pick up a hook, bright yarn and master the technique of single crochet.
Of course, there are more complicated options. More experienced knitters will probably want to use something already knitted in a simple way attach egg bright flower with a beautiful button in the core. But you will have to work hard to create it, although this is not so difficult to do.
Easter eggs “dressed” in openwork cobwebs look very cool. This is a gentle, delicate, and not at all difficult job. The master class with the beautiful name “Lace Splendor” describes in detail all the moments of making this handmade souvenir.
Also very interesting option souvenir - such a hand-made Easter gift will appeal to many. In order to make it, we need:
- foam blank
- silk or cotton white threads
- PVA glue
- pins
- polyethylene film
- decor details
First, we cover the foam blank with polyethylene. This is necessary so that our threads do not stick to the foam and can subsequently be removed without difficulty. Then we need to very carefully stick the needles into the workpiece. One row will be along the edge of the future window, and the second row will go along the oval of the Easter egg.
There will no longer be a window in the second half, so we will make a row of needles exclusively along the oval of the egg.
The halves are made separately from each other!
We soak the threads in PVA glue and wrap them around our workpiece. It is better to wrap it not chaotically, but following the zigzag pattern through the pins of the outer and inner rows.
When the wrapping is finished, the threads can be covered with glue a second time. Next, wait for the workpiece to dry thoroughly. As soon as this happens, we very, very carefully remove the pins, and then remove the half from the workpiece.
We make the second half using a similar principle. Now you need to connect them to each other. You can tie them with a satin ribbon or secure them with a hot gun.
It would be great if you put a fluffy miniature chicken or rabbit inside such a delicate Easter egg. The egg can be tied with a thin ribbon and decorated with a bow on top for beauty. It turned out to be a very beautiful craft: many will be surprised that you did it yourself!
Easter egg using Origami technique
Colored paper and triangular modules - if this tells you anything, it's definitely worth experimenting with a similar Easter souvenir.
How to make a triangular Origami module
First you will have to learn how to make modules from colored paper, later this skill will be useful to you in new origami crafts.
To do this you line colored paper in a special way. However, there are at least two ways to manufacture modules. Typically, paper is folded several times, cut at a certain stage, and then identical pieces are turned into future modules. You can watch the video to see how to cut paper correctly:
Step-by-step master class on creating an Easter egg using the Origami technique
We will proceed as follows:
- We need to prepare 99 green and 112 pink triangular modules.
- There will be 8 green modules in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows. They easily fit on each other.
- In the 4th row there will be 16 pink modules, which need to be put on with one pocket.
- We make the 5th row according to the principle: 2 green modules - 2 pink modules - 2 green, etc.
- 6th row: the same principle, but the pattern itself needs to be shifted a little to the side.
- Next, we try to give the egg the shape of a bowl and continue to lay out the same pattern, not forgetting to shift it to the side.
- You need to make 8 rows with a pattern.
- The next row will consist of 16 pink modules.
- The work will be completed with a row of green modules, which will be placed on three corners.
The video master class will instruct you in detail on how to create an origami egg:
And the next master class will tell you how to improve your work. But for beginners best choice There will be exactly the first path, since it is as simple as possible, but the result is just as attractive.
Easter egg using Quilling technique
To perform this technique you will need:
- egg preparation
- pins
- paper pins
First of all, think about what the egg will be like. Elements can be glued to the workpiece itself:
You can then carefully remove the workpiece. This is necessary so that the egg turns out hollow and openwork.
If you chose the second option, then the manufacturing principle will be the same as making an Easter egg from threads. That is, we go the following way:
- Cover the egg with polyethylene, and then, starting from the very top of the workpiece, glue the quilling elements. Each element should not only be attached to the previous one, but also secured with two or three pins.
- This is how the top half of the egg will be made, after which you need to coat it with varnish and leave it to dry.
- Now you can work on the second piece (the lower half), and after drying, glue both parts together.
The quilling elements are twisted the way we need them. It’s better to practice in advance so as not to waste time in the process of making the Easter egg. In order not to get lost, it is better to follow this video master class:
Prosperity and abundance in Easter symbolism is the rabbit. It is believed that it will bring good luck to the one who receives it as a gift. You can plant him next to a basket of Easter eggs, he will be its cute and cute guard.
You can sew a simple rabbit from gray linen, or you can sew colorful adorable bunnies using all your imagination. It is not necessary to remove this souvenir until next Easter, because he can be a good talisman for the year.
Watch our master class “Easter bunnies that bring good luck” and choose the one you like)
Without spending a lot of effort, you can make the cutest Easter basket with your own hands, in which colored eggs will look so cool. And there are many variations:
In addition, craftswomen even make baskets out of paper! Baskets made using the Quilling technique are especially beautiful.
How do you like a basket decorated with crocheted flowers? Isn't it beautiful?!! Easter cake and eggs knitted using the Amigurumi technique will serve as an excellent filling!
Easter candles
Egg shaped candles – original souvenir for Easter. Our master class “Easter candles and their protective properties” will not leave any questions on the topic “how to make them.”
By the way, the same egg shells can become the best candlesticks:
Easter napkins
Classics of the genre! However, you can start making them now, because such embroidery requires a lot of time. There are a lot of patterns that you will use to embroider. Assess your skill level and choose.

The Easter holiday is an additional opportunity not only to celebrate something, but also to do something beautiful or necessary. Knitted Easter crafts are a good example that combines both of these qualities.
Video master class on amigurumi for Easter
You can knit or crochet, or even embroider. Moreover, there are a huge variety of embroidery methods. For example, methods such as satin stitch and cross stitch. These methods are well described in the relevant embroidery articles. For cross stitching, by the way, everything is quite simple: you should already take ready-made diagram with an Easter theme (church, willow, eggs, spring) and get to work.
In Japan, and in Europe at that moment, a whole new direction in knitting became popular, it is called “Amigurumi”.
Amigurumi are small knitted animals, often with large heads.
Let's start with an artistic egg bowl
For this craft you will need 25 grams of yellow and pink threads, as well as hook No. 2. In addition, it is assumed that you know how to do chain stitches and half and single crochet stitches. This craft consists of 4 separately knitted petals, each 8 cm high. First, you will need 5 air loops, and starting from 2, you will need to knit a stitch without a cape into any of them. Continue knitting, adding more and more loops on top. Then, starting just above halfway, begin to reduce the number of loops across the width, making the petal round. Once finished, tie a “frame” around the edges.
The petals are also crocheted by overlapping each other. As a result, you should have an egg stand.
Knitted crafts for Easter may well be made not only from threads, but also from wire, because it can also be twisted well. For example, let's make another egg cup. For it you will need: wire wrapped in paper of green or any “spring” color, glue and decorative flowers. First, unwind 8-10 meters of wire, then twist it into the shape of an egg cup (half glass). Please note that the stand must have a leg strong enough to support the egg. Finally, use hot glue to decorate it. decorative flowers. Place the egg there and place it on the Easter table.
You can also make “warmers” for eggs using knitting needles or a crochet hook. To do this, you just need to knit a small “hat” for the egg, which you then need to decorate with eyes, beads and a pom-pom.

6. Turn the resulting cup inside out and hide the remaining threads.
7. Turn the cake back inside out.
8. Cut out the middle of the bottle.
If the diameter of the middle of the bottle is larger than the inside of the box. We cut it on the side and insert it inside.
We sewed:
10. Now let's start knitting the lid. To do this, we knit the same circle as for the bottom of the Easter cake.
13. Now we tie together the two parts of the box lid. This is done with single crochets.
14. The Easter cake cap is ready. All that remains is to decorate the sides with white fondant. We knit a single crochet. We skip one loop, yarn over, in the second loop - three double crochets. So we tie the entire edge of the Easter cake.

Master class: how to knit Easter cake and eggs for beginners?
Also, we bring to your attention an Easter composition with Easter cake and multi-colored colorful eggs. It will create a festive mood or be a lovely gift.
For crocheting Easter cakes, it is best to use 100% acrylic threads.
We will need:
- yarn: for Easter cake (white and Brown color), for eggs (your choice);
- hook No. 1.75;
- bugles or beads;
- padding polyester;
- cardboard.
Stages of work:
1. First we will tie the bottom of the Easter cake:
Row 1: Cast on 2 chain stitches. We insert a hook into the first one. We knit 6 single crochets.
2nd row: 6 increases. From each previous stitch we knit two single crochets. Total: 12 columns.
3rd row: Increases through the column. Total: 18 columns. Example, 1 single crochet, increase in the second column and so on for the entire row.
Row 4: Increase every 2 single crochets. Total: 24 columns.
If the bottom of the cake shrinks. Use a larger hook.
Row 5: Increase every 3 stitches. Total: 30 columns.
Row 6: Increase every 4 stitches. Total: 36 columns.
Row 7: Increase every 5 stitches. Total: 42 loops.
Row 8: Increase every 6 stitches. Total: 48 loops.
Row 9: Increase every 7 stitches. Total: 54 columns.
Row 10: Increase every 8 stitches. Total: 60 columns.
Row 11: Increase every 9 stitches. Total: 66 loops.
Row 12: Increase every 10 stitches. Total: 72 columns.
The bottom is ready. Its diameter is 7 cm.
Row 13: No increases, behind the back wall of the loop.
2. Cut out a circle from cardboard. Diameter 7 cm.
3. We move on to knitting the walls of the Easter cake. To do this, you need to knit 26 rows without increases.
4. Inside the knitted cup, insert a padding polyester circle, and onto it a previously cut cardboard one.
5. For the sides of the Easter cake, cut out a suitable strip of padding polyester and cardboard. We insert it inside and fill the cake with padding polyester.
Don't forget to fasten the edges of the cardboard strip with a stapler, tape or glue.
As you can see, we have attached a paper clip. You will need this to know where the beginning of the row is.
6. Let's start knitting the top:
1st row: 10 single crochets, 1 decrease. So until the end of the row. Total: 66 columns. The decrease is performed in the form of two single crochets knitted together.
7. We continue to make decreases every 9 columns, then 8 and so on until the middle of the top of the Easter cake. We will not describe this in detail. Because knitting the top is reminiscent of knitting the bottom of an Easter cake. The only difference: there were increases for the bottom, and decreases for the top. As a result, there will be 18 single crochets left.
If necessary, add a little padding polyester to make the top of the cake convex.
8. 1 more row of decreases every 1 single crochet. Total: 12 single crochets. We continue to make decreases until the hole is completely closed. We cut the thread and hide it inside.
10. Shape the edges of the fondant:
We knit 2 half stitches, a double crochet, 2 half stitches, a single crochet. And so on until the end of the row. We finish with a connecting column.
11. Sew the fondant to the Easter cake and embroider it with bugles or beads.
12. Now let’s knit the egg:
1st row: 2 air loops. In the first loop we make 7 single crochets.
2nd row: Increase in each column. There are 14 loops in total.
Row 3: No increases.
Row 4: Increase through each single crochet. We start the row with an increase. Total: 21 loops.

Row 17: No decreases.
Row 18: Decrease, 4 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total: 25 loops.
13. Gradually fill the egg with padding polyester.
Row 19: Decrease, 3 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total: 20 loops.
Row 20: Decrease, 2 single crochets. Only 5 decreases. Total 15 loops.
14. Fill the egg completely with padding polyester. So that it takes on a round shape. We continue to make decreases until the hole is closed. Let's hide the thread inside.
Thus we knit required amount eggs

Like this interesting selection we have prepared for you.
Until new publications!
On the eve of any holiday, it is customary to decorate the interior of the room with themed souvenirs. And the Easter holiday is no exception. For this day, people bake Easter cakes, paint eggs and prepare souvenirs for loved ones. One of these is knitted Easter cake. Knitting it is not difficult, but there are still some difficulties in this work. But first things first.
For work we use 2 colors of yarn (you can use leftovers) white and brown, colored threads, beads, beads, synthetic fluff.
First we knit the bottom of the Easter cake
We make a sliding loop and knit 6 single crochets into it. We tighten the loop and then begin to add loops in the rows so that the knitting evenly expands. In the first row we knit 2 single crochets in each base loop, in the second row we alternate 2 single crochets in one base loop, 1 single crochet in one base loop. In the third - 2 single crochets in one base loop, 2 single crochets in each base loop. And so on until we get a circle of the required diameter.
The next row should “raise” the walls of the cake. Therefore, we knit one single crochet into each loop of the base, but we insert the hook not into the entire loop, but behind its back wall. Having knitted one row in this way, we knit all subsequent rows one single crochet into each loop of the previous row, crocheting the entire loop. After a couple of rows, the bend edge of the canvas will be visible.
Having tied the cake to the desired height, fasten the thread and cut off the remainder.
We stuff it tightly with synthetic down.
We also knit a slip loop from white yarn and knit 6-10 single crochet stitches into it. We tighten the loop and then begin to add loops in the rows so that the knitting evenly expands. We make an increase in the same way as we did in the bottom of the Easter cake, but we knit single crochet stitches.
Until you get a circle whose diameter is larger than the diameter of the Easter cake. You can tie everything around the edge with shells.
We pin a white circle on the Easter cake and sew it on.
Now you need to decorate the top of the cake. You can use anything you like, beads, colored threads, beads, etc.
I decided to make a small decoration using colored threads. We thread the needle into the knitted fabric and wind the end of the thread onto it. Then we pull the needle and we get a colored sewn decoration.
In a month we will have a big one Orthodox holiday— Easter, this year it is celebrated on April 8. And we have time to prepare for it - to create Easter souvenirs with our own hands that will be presented to our loved ones this Holy holiday.
After all, we know that the most best gift, this is a gift given with my own hands, and we also present ideas for Easter symbols that will serve as interior decor. I suggest you immediately decide what is considered this holiday symbol?
In our country, painted eggs are an invariable attribute; they are also called painted eggs, and in the USA and Europe, in addition to painted eggs, Easter baskets, wreaths. A rabbit that children love very much, because if they are obedient, the bunny brings them chocolate eggs, as well as chickens and hens.
We described in detail how to create these Easter symbols in the article, so I suggest you don’t waste time, but start choosing yourself beautiful crafts. You can also create a giant one, put an Easter-themed surprise in it and give it to your children, they will be absolutely delighted! Don't forget to write in the comments which idea did you like best?
Easter eggs made of beads with a face (with patterns)
The custom of presenting beautiful Easter eggs made of beads has been known for a long time. If you have not yet created such beauty, we suggest that you definitely try to make such an Easter decoration.
We will need:
- thermal sticker or paper image;
- white egg blank (made of plastic or foam);
- a thread;
- hook;
- decorative elements for decoration;
- fishing line or special monofilament for beading;
- beads of different colors or bead thread;
- a piece of foam;
- scissors;
- glue;
- needle;
- a piece of felt.
Stages of work:
We cut out an oval from felt; the face will be placed on it. Apply it to the iron-on sticker and cut out the image to the required size.
We apply the face to the felt and trim the sides with a strip of beads, which you will make in advance.
If possible, purchase ready-made bead threads.
Now we crochet the egg. Below is a detailed description:
If you don't know how to crochet, just wrap the egg with ribbon:
Coat the felt side of the face with glue. Carefully attach to the egg.
We decorate the craft with a thin ribbon. Along the egg.
Attach a crown to the top; it can be purchased at craft stores. If there is none, use beautiful bow from thin tape.
Let's start decorating the egg stand. We attach a large wooden bead to a piece of foam plastic at each corner. These will be four legs. Decorate the edges with braid. On the other side of the stand we glue four leaves, and in the middle there is an egg.
We finish decorating the craft with flowers.
Here are some more beautiful options:
This is the most easy option. You can also draw the desired design of the egg blank and cover it with beads. PVA glue and a toothpick will help with this.
Before doing this, do not forget to paint the egg in the desired color.
You can also wrap an egg, previously coated with glue, with a thread of beads.
As you can see, there are many options. And here interesting schemes for braiding eggs with beads.
We make beautiful eggs for Easter from satin ribbons using the kanzashi technique
In Europe, the word “kanzashi” means a needlework technique based on folding small pieces of fabric in a special way.
We will need:
- green and white satin ribbon(width 2.5 cm);
- foam circle;
- a piece of white felt;
- green and orange ribbon (width 0.6 cm);
- preparing an egg the size of a chicken;
- hot glue;
- candle or lighter;
- forceps;
- beads.
Stages of work:
Wrap the egg with ribbon. We glue its edge to the top part. So we continue to wrap the egg, gluing the ribbon to the top and bottom of the egg.
We wrap the ribbon crosswise, otherwise the whole structure will fall apart.
We get this bright polka dot egg.
Let's start making flowers. To do this, cut out a 2.5 by 2.5 cm square from white tape.
Don't forget to singe the cut edges of the tape. Otherwise it will simply crumble.
Let's fold the square diagonally. We bring the edges of the resulting triangle to the middle.
Now we fold the resulting petal again and clamp it with tongs. We singe the lower part of the petal over the candles.
We cut off the edge of the back of the petal and also singe it. We have these petals coming out. You will need 18 of them. There are 6 pieces for each flower.
We glue them together. Glue a bead in the middle.
Let's make petals from a shiny green ribbon. Let's make three green loops and cut the ribbon. Let's burn the bottom of the loops over the candles.
attach the flower to the leaves. In this way we make two more flowers.
For the stand, cut a circle out of felt. Its diameter is 5.5 cm. We paste a 2.5 cm green tape along its edges.
We glue another “skirt” inside, but its diameter is slightly smaller.
Cut a circle out of foam plastic so that you can put an egg in it. We wrap it with green ribbon, from which we made leaves.
Don't forget to attach everything with glue.
Glue the ring to the middle of the stand.
We place an egg in the ring and decorate it with flowers and stamens.
These are some interesting ideas you can get if you use your imagination a little:

Crocheted Easter chickens
And of course we couldn’t forget about the cute knitted chickens. If you are good at crocheting, we offer this craft for Easter.
We will need:
- hook No. 1.75;
- suitable yarn in two colors and a little red for the comb and beak;
- scissors;
- needle;
- black thread for eyes.
Stages of work:
If you want to make a chicken as an Easter egg stand, use a slightly larger yarn and hook.
1st row: from thread yellow color make an amigurumi ring. We fix it with an air loop.
We knit 8 single crochets inside the ring. We tighten the ring so that it closes.
Row 2: we need to make 8 increases. To do this, in each single crochet (previous row) we knit 2 single crochets. As a result, we get 16 loops.
Rows 3-8: knit 16 single crochets, without increments.
Row 9: make 16 increases. To do this, in each column (of the previous row) we make 2 single crochets. We get 32 loops.
Now we make 1 connecting post. This will help smooth out the rows. 1 air loop for lifting. This will be the center of the chicken's tail. This is where we will add loops.
Row 10: 2 increases, 28 single crochets, 2 increases, connecting stitch. Total: 36 columns.
11th row: 1 air loop, 1 single crochet at its base. In the next column - increase, 32 single crochets, 2 increases in the last 2 loops.
Using red thread we make a connecting column.
There are 48 single crochets in total.
Row 12: We also knit a single crochet at the base of the air loop. Next are 39 single crochets, the connecting stitch is yellow.
Let's start knitting the tail.
Row 13: 8 increases in double crochets, 24 single crochets, 8 increases in double crochets, connecting red stitch. Total: 56 columns.
Row 14: for the tail pattern, between each pair of double crochets you need to knit 2 double crochets. To do this, we move the connecting column to the middle between the columns. In the same place we knit 2 more double crochets. We also do this 7 more times. There are eight pairs of double crochets in total.
Row 15: just like at the beginning of the last row, we move to the middle between the columns. Between each pair of stitches we knit: double crochet, 1 air loop, double crochet. We knit this way only 8 times. Next, 24 single crochets, 8 pairs of stitches, a connecting stitch in red.
Row 16: use a connecting column to move to the air loop between the rows. From the same loop we knit 4 double crochets. There are 8 such patterns in total. Next, 24 single crochets, 8 patterns, a yellow connecting stitch.
Row 17: we knit in the middle of each feather: 1 connecting stitch for the back wall of the work, 1 double crochet for both walls.
Let's move on to finishing the chicken's tail.
Row 18: hide the yellow thread under the red one. We knit 3 air loops. Insert a hook between each two rows of the previous row and knit a single crochet. So we tie the entire half of the tail.
Cut the yellow thread.
Then we carry out 11 decreases in a row. This is done in this way: we knit two loops from the previous two columns. From the resulting three loops on the hook we make one.
We crochet the red thread inside.
We got the main part of the Easter chicken.
Now let's move on to knitting the stand.
Attach a red thread to the last column of the chicken's body. We knit a chain of 15 chain stitches. We attach the chain to the opposite edge of the body.
Along the edge of the body we knit: 2 double crochets, 1 double crochet (in each previous single crochet). And so on until the end of the body. We also knit along a chain of air loops. We complete the row with a connecting column.
This will help keep the egg rim in place.
Unfold the knitting. We knit a double crochet into each stitch of the previous row. We complete the row with a connecting column in the red row of the tail. Fasten and cut the thread. This is the kind of stand we got.
Decorate the chicken with a scallop. To do this, we will make an amigurumi ring. Next we knit into a ring: single crochet, chain stitch, double crochet. Only 6 times.
We tighten the loop. Fold the resulting flower in half. We get 3 double scallops. We tie them on top, together. Sew the comb to the head.
We take out the remaining thread in the place of the beak and make a loop. We knit four air loops from it. Turn the hook. We skip one air loop. In the remaining three we knit one single crochet. We attach the second side of the beak to the muzzle. In this way we knit the lower part of the beak. Cut the thread. We hide its end inside.
We embroider the eyes. We got this chicken.

Master class: DIY Easter wreaths
This wreath can decorate your front door for Easter. Are they really very original and beautiful? Would you like this decor for Easter, write in the comments?
We will need:
- birch branches;
- willow branches;
- pruner;
- wire or twine;
- decorative elements for decoration.
Stages of work:
Branches need to be chosen flexible and fresh. Otherwise, the wreath will simply break.
We make a ring from several branches and secure it with wire.
Then we increase the volume of the wreath by weaving all the branches into it.
We weave willow branches into the wreath. We decorate it according to your wishes. This is how we do it.
We hang the wreath by branches or using a hook.
But this simple wreath can be made with children. It consists of a cardboard base covered with burlap, and the eggs are made of felt.
Here is a version of the base.
As you can see, it all depends on your desire and available materials.
