MATERIALS:
• Brown paper
• Red and orange paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Tissue paper in fall colors
DIRECTIONS:
1. Create your turkey’s body and feathers with your
brown paper. (You can make them separate by
cutting just a head and gluing brown feathers to the
back of the head. But we wanted our turkey to be all
one piece.) Fold your brown paper in half vertically
and cut out a circle at the bottom for the body and 2
feather shapes. Open up your paper and you have a
full turkey with 4 feathers.
2. Cut a small slit in the center of each feather, cutting
the inside out, leaving a sort of oval shape for the
inside of each feather.
3. Also, cut a small piece of tissue paper the size of the
hole of the feather, just a little big bigger. Glue the
tissue piece to the back of the feathers. Repeat this
for all of the feathers.
4. Flip the turkey to the front side and tape it up
to your front window. It’s ready to display!Try
experimenting with all sorts of things including lace,
crochet and even some toys. Have fun!
