I made these for a couple coworkers and a couple kids at work last night, the youngest recipient called him "Tango Turkey Bubbles"... I'm not sure why but it totally made my day!!
What you need:
Fall colored silk flowers (I used 2 and got 4 turkeys out of it)
brown felt
orange felt
eye balls (I like these tiny black eyes better than the googly eyes)
hair combs (my local craft store sells them for a quarter a piece, but if you have old ones you can recycle)
hot glue gun
The how-to:
Remove the stem from the flowers, then the plastic "caps" found at the base that helps hold it together.
Remove each layer of petal and sort by size/color
Cut the layers in half
Start layering petals together to make your feathered tail, attaching each layer with hot glue
Free hand a turkey body out of the felt and attach him to the petals at both the bum and the head, otherwise the "heavy" eyes make him droopy.
Attach eyes and a nose
Glue turkey onto comb with curved side up--that way he faces out when you wear him in your FABULOUS hair!
If you don't want to wear a turkey on your head, you can glue them to napkin rings, place cards, or whatever. They're very simple!!
I found the link from where I got the idea, so click here if you need step by step pictures!
