Step 1 Make the pompoms

Using the pompom makers make 2 different sized pompoms.

If you don't have a pompom maker do not worry, you can just make 2 different sized pompoms using another method. I will link below some other videos I have made on different ways to make pompoms.

Step 5 Making the cracked egg shell

On some white felt draw 2 star like shapes in 2 different sizes. These are going to make the egg shells.

Cut them both out. They need to be different sizes as 1 is going to go on the top of the chicks head and the other is going to go on the bottom of the large pompom.

The white felt shapes cut out

Add hot glue to the felt so that it sticks well to the pompoms. Make sure to glue all the points.

Add the small white felt shape to the top of the chicks head. Stick the large felt shape to the bottom of the large pompom so that it looks like the chick is sat in the egg.

Now your pompom chicks are all completed. I think they look really cute. If you don't want to add the felt to look like cracked egg shells you don't have to. You can simply just make cute pompom chicks.
