How to Make a Wood Slice Chicken
Use scissors or a craft knife to trim the bark off of the top and bottom of the larger wood slice so you have a flat top and flat bottom with a rounded side.
Do the same on only one side of the smaller wood slice. You can use sandpaper to smooth these edges if you want a cleaner edge.
Now, glue the smaller one on top of the larger one so that the two are glued together at the flattened spaces.
Next, glue the oval wood slice to the side of the "bird" to create a wing.
Paint the wing with cream, pink, or brown paint and set it aside to dry. If desired, you can paint the entire bird at this time, but it is not necessary to create a rustic look.
Once the wing has dried, add a small beak from wood to the front. This is easy to make from scrap wood, a toothpick, or even a dowel that has been cut into a point. If not available, you can use felt or paper to create a little peak.
Then use a marker to create an eye on the side.
Use pliers to shape a piece of metal or floral wire into an "m".
Wrap twine around the "m' loosely, then glue into place. You want some of the metal to show, but if you prefer it can be painted or you could wrap the twine all the way around the metal so it is totally covered.
Glue this tail onto the bottom side of the bird below the wing.
Next, cut out some ribbon and tie it around the neck of the bird, then tie the ends into a bow shape. Glue this to secure in place.
If desired, you can add additional embellishments like feathers, glitter, or paint the other wood slices before you display it!
