Spring and Easter: Black White and Gold Chickies

 

I mentioned in my Bunny Candy Holder to Ornament post that I also bought some Chick Candy Holders at Dollar Tree. I thought I was going to make these into ornaments too but I decided they were cuter free standing or placed in a basket. Mr. Chocolate thinks they look like ancient Greek Olympic wrestlers! 

Supplies

• Chick Egg Candy Holders (Dollar Tree)
• White No Prep Paint (Waverly)
• Gold Acrylic Paint (Craft Smart)
• Gold and Black Baker's Twine

Like the bunny version, they're cute as is. But we're Makers right? Does anything remain as is?!

Same process as the bunnies, I used a sponge spouncer to apply white Waverly no prep paint all over. 

Again, I didn't glue the two halves together since I knew I'd be wrapping something around them that would hold them. Yes, the eyes disappear but we'll take care of that!

I grabbed some black self adhesive rhinestones from my stash and added a drop of glue for extra stick. I used a small detail paint brush to paint the wings and feet gold. This took a couple of coats to cover the orange. It's also odd to me that Waverly makes a silver but I've been unable to find that they make a gold. 

I had this black and gold baker's twine in my stash that I thought worked well with these, picking up the god accents and the black eyes. I dabbed one end with glue to keep the fraying to a minimum, then wrapped as shown and did the same with the second end. 

For now, they're sitting on my entryway table until I finish my decorating and they may just stay where they are. Or not!
