Click and Print each of the links
above for the Hen
& Rooster
cut out patterns needed for this design.
Create the Hen and Rooster Design:
-
Cut out a piece of Ivory colored felt
that is 12" wide x 7" high and hot glue it to your pre-cut piece of cardboard.
-
Cut out all the felt pieces for the
chicken according to the color & number directions on the patterns.
-
Lay the pieces out on the felt covered
cardboard as shown here and hot glue into place.
-
Use small scraps of beige to make a
nest.
-
Use a small circle of white or beige
for an eye, then use an even smaller circle of black for the pupil of the
eye.
Put together the "chicken coop window"
on the crate or box:
-
Cut out a piece of chicken wire that
is about 13 1/2" wide and 8 1/2" high.
-
Lay it out onto a piece of newspaper
outside and spray paint it black. Let Dry
-
Paint the pieces of wood brown or your
desired color. (These will be the window frame) Let dry.
-
After everything has dried, you can
begin assembling the window.
-
Center the cardboard/design as much
as possible onto the front of the box or crate. Make sure that all the
pieces of frame will fit around the design and that the bottom piece of
the frame will be flush with the bottom edge of the crate. (To fit this
design with all the measurements given, the box MUST be at least 9 1/2"
tall and as least 15" wide. If you want to put the design on a box
that is a little bit less than 9 1/2" tall or 15" wide, you will need to
get wood pieces for the frame that are less than 1 1/2" wide and adjust
the length of the vertical pieces of frame.)
-
Lay the chicken wire on top of the
design and center. (There should be approx. 3/4" of chicken wire extending
beyond the felt design.)
-
Nail down the bottom 12" piece of frame
wood first as shown, make sure that it is flush with the bottom of the
crate/box and that it is overlapping the chicken wire but not the felt
design.
-
Next, nail down the top 12" piece of
frame wood. Make sure that it is also overlapping the chicken wire but
not overlapping the felt design.
-
Nail down both vertical 10" pieces
of frame wood. Overlapping the chicken wire but not the felt design.
Done!
A decorative way to disguise
newspapers, weekly ads and magazines in your home.
Also makes a great potato bin
or fruit bin in the kitchen.
