Product Information
Full details
This product is for crafters looking to add realistic and durable feet to DIY bird figures, especially chickens. Its key benefit is the easy-to-use pin attachment for secure placement in various craft materials. A minor caveat is that the yellow colour may not suit all aesthetic preferences for bird crafts. The Creativ Chicken Feet are made from strong, hard plastic and come in a bright yellow colour, designed to be inserted into materials like Styrofoam and Silk Clay for handmade decorations, seasonal crafts, and educational projects.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of each chicken foot?
Each chicken foot measures approximately 28mm in height and 37mm in length.
How many chicken feet are in a pack?
Each pack contains 50 chicken feet.
What materials can I insert the pins into?
The pins are designed for easy insertion into materials like Styrofoam, Silk Clay, modelling clay, and other similar craft bases.
Can I paint these chicken feet?
While they come in a bright yellow colour, they are made of plastic. Acrylic paints designed for plastic crafts can be used for customization, but test on a small area first.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
They are designed for indoor craft projects. Prolonged exposure to weather, moisture, and UV rays may degrade the plastic and affect the colour.
Can these be used for children's toys?
These are intended as craft components. While durable, the small pin attachment means they should be used under adult supervision for any craft intended for young children to ensure safety.
How should I store the unused chicken feet?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or an airtight container, away from direct sunlight to maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Pin does not insert easily into craft material.
Ensure the craft material is soft enough (e.g., Styrofoam, Silk Clay). For harder materials, try creating a small pilot hole with a skewer or thin tool before inserting the pin. Ensure you are applying firm, steady pressure.
Chicken feet feel loose after insertion.
If using very soft materials like loose-fiber felt, the pin might not get enough grip. Consider adding a small dab of craft glue or hot glue around the base of the pin once inserted for extra security. For Styrofoam, ensure the pin is inserted deep enough.
Plastic appears slightly discoloured.
This can happen if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or certain chemicals. Store the remaining feet in their original packaging or an opaque container in a cool, dark place. For already affected pieces, the colour may not be reversible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These chicken feet are designed for immediate use. Simply take a foot from the pack and push the integrated pin directly into your chosen craft material. Ensure the material is soft enough to accept the pin without significant resistance. For softer materials like Silk Clay or thin Styrofoam, gentle but firm pressure is usually sufficient. For thicker Styrofoam, you may need to apply more pressure or create a small pilot hole.
Compatibility: The feet are best suited for porous and semi-firm craft materials such as Styrofoam, foam shapes, Silk Clay, air-drying clay, and modelling dough. They may also be used with thicker felt or fabric if reinforced with a backing.
Care: As these are plastic craft components, they require minimal care. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their colour and integrity. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat, which could deform the plastic. Clean any dust or debris with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
