We got this craft off of: http://crafts.kaboose.com/turkey-note-holder.html

What you'll need:

2 jumbo craft sticks

Brown acrylic craft paint

Small wooden clothespin

Paintbrush

Small straw hat cut in half

Scissors

Small red foam heart

Miniature orange foam triangle

2 yellow foam chick feet

2 small wiggle eyes

White craft glue

Hot glue gun

9 feathers in fall colors

How to make it:

1 .Paint both craft sticks and clothespin with brown paint, set aside to dry. Paint a second coat on the craft sticks, but not the clothespin.

2. Glue feathers in a fan behind one of the craft sticks. (We used leaves because we didnt have any feathers!) Sandwich the second craft stick behind the feathers.

3. Glue the straw hat half to the top of the craft stick.

4. Glue two wiggle eyes under the hat.

5. Glue red heart upside down for waddle. Glue the orange triangle upside down at the top of the waddle.

6. Glue the yellow duck feet to the bottom of the craft stick, pointing upward.

7. Glue the clothespin to the front of the craft stick, pointing downward.

Tips:

To hang on the fridge, attach two round magnets to the back of the turkey.

To hang on a door, attach a piece of ribbon or yarn to the back of the turkey.

Save the other half of your straw hat for another project.

 

Today we went to the library and got some craft book...on of them was a Better Homes & Gardens book: 100 Crafts Under $10.

 

This book is great! It gives great detailed instructions and how much the craft will cost. The crafts are organized by season, which is nice. You should definitely check out this book...

 

Blessings,
