Easter Chick Candy Holder

Created this cute Easter Chick Candy Holder with inspiration from Frenchie of Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie. You can click here to see her creation.

I did not have the Boho Blossom punch for the head & feet so I used my good ol' George & Basics Cricut cartridge and you can see the details of what image I used below in my supplies list.

I put a mini Hershey candy inside. Added stickles/glitter to head. Added wiggle eyes. Used paper crimper on the wings. Used 2 stamps sets to stamp on Stampin' Up banner flag Kraft cardstock and a toothpick. Used a Crayola black pencil color on beak. Added twine.
