Introduction
These turkeys are ready to ruffle some feathers! Made with layers of colorful tissue paper, these turkeys are perfect as place cards on the Thanksgiving dinner table.
Materials
- tissue paper: red and yellow
- pom-pom
- googly eyes
- cardstock
- floral wire
- white glue
- cardstock for backing and scotch tape
Steps
Step 1
Stack 8 sheets of 3 inches x 3 inches alternating yellow and red tissue paper together (4 sheets of each color). Cut scalloped edge. Fold accordian-style. Fasten the folded tissue paper with a piece of floral wire.
Step 2
Open up the accordian like a fan. Pull up one layer of tissue paper at a time towards the bottom of the fan shape to form the turkey’s feathers.
Step 3
Glue a pom pom in the middle of the tissue paper. Glue 2 googly eyes onto the pom pom. Cut beak from yellow cardstock and glue onto the pom pom.
The turkey is fastened onto cardstock by punching a small hole in the cardstock, then threading the wire through the hole. On the other side, place a piece of scotch tape to fasten down the wire onto the cardstock. Write the name on the cardstock.
