Chickeeee

Just in time for Easter ^-^



Even if you don't celebrate, you can make this just because it's adorable~

The two pieces of shell and the chick are made separately, and then glued together at the end.
You will need:
82 white modules
62 yellow modules

Each shell half is made with 5 and a half (see the inside "broken" line) rows of 14 modules. 
The chick is made of 6 rows of 10, plus the two wings.

I also used some slightly different sized white modules along the crack line to give it a more broken effect, but I don't think it'll make much of a difference if you use the same size.

I would recommend gluing the pieces of the chick and the top egg shell together, as I had a few problems getting them to stay while I glued the entire piece.

The eyes where made from a hole punch, and the beak from paper folded in half and then cut freehand.

Sailor Penguin

More origami !?

Yep!













Isn't he cute? ^-^

172 modules total:
39 for the tummy (white)
131 for the base (pink)
2 for the flippers (pink)

10 rows of 17, plus the flippers.
The tummy has, starting from the top:
5
6
7
8
7
6
modules in each row.

The eyes are hole punched, and everything else is cut free hand. 
The sailor hat is made from a circle with a "pie slice" cut out of it, and made into a cone with a strip of paper wrapped around the edge.
