1. Cut pieces of clay using the pottery wire tool. Create a body out of clay that weighs 60 grams and a neck and head that weighs 25 grams.

2. Using your hands, model the 2 pieces of clay together so that they resemble the shape of your Chicken Diva. We have chosen to create Britney!

3. Use 10 grams of clay to create two wings and attach them to either side of the clay body. While the clay is still soft, add the beak, feet and tail feathers. Allow the clay to dry completely.

4. Once the clay has dried, mix 1 part white paint with 1 part light blue paint. Use this to paint Britney the Chicken Diva. Use white & magenta paint to create Whitney. Allow to dry.

5. Sketch out a comb for your chicken’s head using coloured cardboard and cut out. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Use PVA glue to attach the cardboard to your chicken. Attach 2 wiggle eyes using PVA glue. Allow to dry.

6. Use a Stay Anywhere™ pen to add eyelashes to your chicken. Add some bling by creating a necklace for your Chicken Diva using craft line and beads. Now your Clay Chicken Diva is ready!

Become a diva like Whitney and Britney with your own mini disco ball!

1. Use a skewer to hold your decofoam ball while you paint it silver. Allow to dry.

2. Use double sided tape to attach mirror mosaic tiles to your decofoam ball. Start in the centre of the ball and work your way towards the top of the ball. We used 117 mosaic tiles and 1.8m of tape.

3. Remove the skewer and finish adding mosaics to the bottom half of the decofoam ball. Leave a gap at either the top or bottom of the decofoam ball so that you can add a string for hanging.

4. Cut a 15cm piece of spaghetti string and tie a knot in 1 end. Place a tack through the knot and pin it in the gap you left in the decofoam ball. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors and pins.

5. Thread beads onto the spaghetti string to add a touch of colour! To finish, tie a knot in the other end to keep the beads in place. Your Disco Ball is now ready to hang!

Use the steps below as a guide. You can decorate your microphone using any craft material you like!

1. Paint a cardboard roll and a decofoam ball using CleverPatch™ black acrylic paint. Allow to dry.

2. Place the painted decofoam ball onto a skewer so you can cover it entirely in CleverPatch™ Junior PVA Glue. While the glue is still tacky, sprinkle glitter over the decofoam ball. Allow to dry. For less glitter wastage, use a scrap piece of paper folded in half to catch the glitter falling off the decofoam ball while decorating. This will make it easy to tip the glitter back into the container ready to use!

3. Use a glue gun to attach the glitter foam ball to one end of the cardboard roll. Allow to dry. Adult supervision is recommended when using a glue gun.

4. Decorate your microphone using Glitter Washi Tape and Stick On Jewels. You are now ready to sing a jazz number like Foxy and the Chickettes!
