Twinkie Chicks

I don't know why I thought of this craft, because we do not eat Twinkies at my house ever.  But, while I was in the grocery store, I saw the box of Twinkies and thought I could make those Easter Chicks.  Now, the whole time I was shopping I was coming up with my plan in my head, lol.  I had to stop and get some feathers in the craft department and I came home and put these together.  I love how they turned out. :)

I started out with a box of 10 Twinkies.  (I only have 9 chicks, because me and my hubby split one of them, lol)

Next, I used the Create a Critter Cartridge to cut the chicken and eggs.  For the chicken, he was cut with the Gypsy at a size of 2.98W x 3.59H and then I cut his head off of the body.  For the Egg Bottom, I hid the top layer in the Gypsy and cut only the bottom at a size of 3.71W x 3.59H.  (You will need two egg halves for each, so you can put on on the front and one on the back.)  I then cut only the beak layer to fit on the chicken's face.

Next, I added google eyes to the chickens face and then hot glued the face and egg to the Twinkies package.  Then, I hot glued feathers to the side of them for the arms.  I glued all of the arms on a little differently, some are facing up, some forward, etc.

Now, my little chicks needed a box to set in.  I wanted it to look like a makeshift child's box.  I took the Twinkie box and trimmed it down and removed the lid.  Then, it was painted with a primer and then painted it brown. 

Once it was drie, I hot glued the lid to the back slanted.  Then, my husband painted the words on the top for me.  We spelled chicks wrong on purpose so it would look like a child's box.
