INDIAN
WHAT YOU NEED:
• empty essential oil bottle
• felt

Thanksgiving Figurines
TURKEY
WHAT YOU NEED:

Pilgrims
WHAT YOU NEED:
• empty essential oil bottles
• felt
• colored paper
• yarn or embroidery floss
• hot glue
DIRECTIONS: 1. First get an idea of what you want your pilgrims to look like.
2. Once you have an idea, start with a base— we used black— and hot glue it to the bottle.
3. Cut out other desired pieces such as an apron, collar, shirt, bonnet, hat, etc. Hot glue them to desired areas. For the man’ s hat, cut a circle with a hole in the center for the essential oil bottle. This will allow the lid to act as the top of the hat.
4. Once the basics are finished you can add details. Tie a bow for the woman with yarn or embroidery floss, add a belt buckle with yellow felt or paper— whatever your heart desires.
