Pinecone Turkey:
Supplies needed:
- pinecone
- light tan chenille stem
- dark brown chenille stem
- 2 wiggly eyes
- foam feathers
- hot glue gun
- glue stick
Step 1:
Make the turkeys head by folding the light tan chenille stem in half. Twist the ends together to make a beak and glue the stem into the pine cone.
Step 2:
Glue two eyes and both red wattle pieces onto the light brown stem to complete the turkeys head.
Step 3:
Using the dark brown chenille stem, make the turkey legs. Fold the stem in half, place a small amount of glue in the middle, and push it into the pinecone. Bend the stems to allow the turkey to stand.
Step 4:
One by one, place a small amount of glue on the ends of the feathers and tuck them into the pinecone.
Continue until all foam feathers are used, or your turkey looks complete.
