Cut several lengths of adhesive fabric ribbon into bands and stick them onto one of the shapes.

Finish sewing the seam.

Felt chicken

Cut the chicken template to shape and trace the outline on one half of a sheet of felt foam. Fold the sheet in half and cut around the outline to obtain two identical chicken body shapes.
Cut out the two wing shapes from a sheet of adhesive fabric and glue them onto both halves of the body.
Cut out a beak-shaped piece of felt foam.
Sew a pearl onto each half of the body where the eye goes.
Place the two body shapes back to back and sew them together leaving a thumb-width gap in the seam.
