Materials

TOOLS

  • Black Marker
  • Low Temp Glue Gun and Glue Sticks or
  • White/PVA school glue
  • Scissors

Instructions
 

  • To create a turkey, line up five jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the turkey and attach them with a glue gun or school glue. Leave to dry completely.


    Step 1 - Assembling Turkey Base

  • Paint front and sides of turkey with brown acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.


    Step 2 - Painting Turkey Base

  • Cut a triangle beak from yellow craft felt. Cut a wiggly waddle shape from red craft felt. Cut two turkey feet from orange craft felt. Attach all features, including two wiggle eyes to the turkey with a glue gun or school glue. Leave to dry completely.



  • Select eight to ten craft feathers in assorted colors and place them around the turkey on your work surface. Mix and match colors to create a fun pattern.



  • Flip the turkey over and attach the craft feathers to the back of the turkey with a glue gun or school glue. Leave to dry completely.





    Step 5 - Attaching Feathers
  • Craft Stick Turkey

Notes

TIP: As soon as you open a package of craft feathers, place them in a zip top sandwich bag. Then pick feathers out, one at a time, so the feather fluff doesn’t get all over your work surface.
