Wooden Spool Turkeys



Hi! Crafters!

Here is a Thanksgiving project that children would enjoy making it for a Thanksgiving Activity in my opinion.

Wooden Spool Turkeys

 


Materials:  Wooden spool, Covered floral wire (12-inch piece), , , , wire cutter or old scissors, Scissors, Colored paper, Small button, Feathers, Pen, and Clear tape

Directions:

Wrap the middle section of wire twice around spool tightly. Twist together to secure. Bend wire to make a foot on each leg and trim excess with old scissors or wire cutter.

Trace the end of a spool and a button about 1" apart on paper. Connect the circles to form a neck, and add points on head. Cut out shape, and draw eyes, beak, and spiral.

Tape the paper body to one end of spool, then flip over and attach 3 feathers to other side, taping each one individually. Adjust feet so turkey stands.
