A quick make that doesn’t need too much accuracy

Apparently a traditional definition of prosperity in northern India was the ownership of a flock of hens. So hanging this type of decorative garland suggests prosperity to the homeowner.

Each chicken is a square of cotton folded to a triangle with beak and tail feathers sewn in. I followed a YouTube tutorial from Pincutsew which was very clear.

My triangles were 4 inches square and I stuffed mine with lavender as well as fibre, so they can roost in a wardrobe if not on display.

My beaks were felt and I added sequins for eyes to pretty things up.
