Easter Chick Brooches

I was just beginning to get of a few ideas for Easter, when lockdown happened and since then, they and my enthusiasm have all but fizzled out, resulting my doing more or less zilch.

However, while I was rummaging about in my craft drawers I found these wooden Easter chicks that I got from Hobbycraft (pack of 6 for £1) in, what must have been early February so I decided they really ought to have a little moment this year........

As soon as I saw the pack I immediately thought Easter brooches, so I've made one for me and one for Lu, my daughter, who is staying with me through lockdown.  I like the sideways on chicks but the other design, I have to say, are wanting, the paintwork is poor to say the least. but since I've got another year now to go, I am sure I will come up with a way to use them by then.

To make the very simple Easter brooches, I've just added a googly eye and put amber coloured flat back gems over the spots, I resisted adding gold glitter to their crowns.  The brooch backs were attached using super strength glue. I've run out of E6000, but getting any more will just have to wait until things are back to normal, whenever that is!
