  • 1 1/2 cups jelly beans (assorted colors)
  • Tacky craft glue or low-temperature hot glue
  • 12 plastic googly eyes (about 10-mm size)

    For each jelly bean chick, stack 4 of the netting squares. Pour 1/4 cup jelly beans onto center of netting. Pull corners of netting up over jelly beans to form bundle (this will form body of chick). Use 4-inch pipe cleaner piece as twist tie to tightly secure top, twisting ends to form beak.
  • 3
    To form legs with feet, twist 1-inch pipe cleaner piece around each 1 1/2-inch pipe cleaner piece, 1/2 inch from end, to form foot with 3 toes. Insert opposite ends of 1 1/2-inch pipe cleaner pieces into hole of netting on bottom of chick's body (see photo).
  • 4
    Trim top ends of netting with scissors into rounded shape to form head of chick. With glue, attach googly eyes to netting above beak.
