Steps:

Cut out template pieces. Stick template pieces to felt using rolled pieces of tape. Cut out felt pieces.

Glue the waddle to the top of the hen.

Now glue the beak to the hen.

Use white embroidery floss to attach the wing by stitching the details on.

Create the eyes using black embroidery floss, by making French knots.

Tie the end of a piece of yellow embroidery floss, use a needle to bring it through he felt, cut it at desired length, and knot the other end. This will create the legs and feet.

Cut a short piece of fishing line, sandwich the end between the two egg pieces, and adhere the other end to the back of the hen. Cut a small square of white felt and adhere it to the back of the hen, trimming off any excess around the edges.
