MATERIALS :

• Brown paper
• Red and orange paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Tissue paper in fall colors

DIRECTIONS :

1 . Cut out the turkey - 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 . Make a turkey head -Make a turkey head by cutting out a small brown paper circle . Add eyes , orange beak , and a red waddle .

3 . Make the feathers -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 .

4 . 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 .

5 . Flip the turkey to the front side and tape it up to your front window . It ’ s ready to display !
