Baby chick assembly:

Sew the wings onto the sides of the chick’s body. Once you’re done, weave the excess yarn through the tips of the wings. We’ll use this yarn to sew the strawberry on later.Sew the beak between the eyes. Once finished, weave the remaining yarn through the top of the head and trim it, leaving a small strand to create a cute little baby hair on top of the chick’s head.Sew the feet to the bottom of the body, positioning them as close together or as far apart as you prefer.Don’t worry about perfection- I’m not the best at sewing either! just do your best.Strawberry assembly:
• Use black or white yarn to create seeds on the strawberry.
• Sew stem to top of strawberry.Attaching the strawberry to the baby chick’s wings:
• Take the excess yarn at the tips of the wings (the yarn you left earlier) and use your needle to weave it through the strawberry several times until it feels secure.
• Repeat the process with the excess yarn on the other wing.
• Once both wings are attached, make sure both yarn tails exit through the same stitch on the back of the strawberry. Then, tie a knot and hide the yarn tails.
