The first one is a table runner to sew the next one a child
might like to help making this one
Turkey
table runner
Materials: Brown felt, 19′ x 72′, Orange felt, 12′ x 12′
block, Light brown felt, 12′ x 12′ block, Yellow felt, 12′ x 12′ block, 4 black
buttons, Fabric glue, Scallop ruler or medium size bowl
Directions:
Take a scallop edge sewing ruler (or a medium size bowl) and
mark your scallop ends.
Trim your runner to match the length of your scallop. It
should be approximately 17′ x 72′.
Cut your scallop onto each end of the runner and set the
fabric aside.
Print off our template and cut out each piece. You’ll need two
of each shape with the exception of the leaf where you’ll need 10 (five per
turkey). (Orange – leaves; Light brown – large turkey body; Yellow – small
turkey body; Orange – beak)
Center the large turkey body circle in the center of your
table runner, about 4 inches from the end of your runner and glue down the
bottom of the circle. (Tip: Place your runner on the table before gluing and
make sure that your turkey will be completely off the end of the table on each
end.)
Glue five leaves behind the base body in a fan and then glue
down the remaining body circle
Glue on the yellow small turkey body and orange beak.
Sew on button eyes.
Pom-pom turkeys
Materials:
Turkey fan, beak and wattle templates (download the pom pom
turkey templates)
Printer and plain white paper, Scissors. 1 sheet each orange,
tan, yellow, red and white felt, Fine-tip black marker, Hot glue gun, 2 mini
black pom-poms (available at craft stores), 1 1" brown pom-pom (available
at artcove.com), Brown pipe cleaner, 1 3" brown pom-pom or 2" brown
pom-pom for smaller turkey (available at artcove.com).
Directions:
Download turkey templates; print and cut out.
Place each fan template onto a different color of felt (tan,
red, orange and yellow) and trace around with marker. Cut out.
Glue felt fans together in a stack, starting with largest
piece and ending with smallest. Set aside to dry completely.
Make eyes by cutting out two small circles from white felt,
then glue mini pom-poms in center of each circle, creating pupils. Set aside to
dry completely.
Place wattle template on red felt. Trace around it with
marker, then cut out. Place beak template on yellow felt. Trace around it with
marker, then cut out. Glue wattle to beak.
Assemble turkey head by gluing eyes, beak and wattle to 1”
brown pom-pom, pressing tightly to hold each in place as they dry.
Position turkey head near top of body pom-pom (2” or 3”) and
glue in place, applying pressure as it dries.
Glue fan to back of body pom-pom, pressing as it dries.
Cut 2 2” pieces from pipe cleaner and set aside, then cut
remaining length of pipe cleaner in half for a total of two long and two short
pieces of pipe cleaner.
Working with a long piece, bend at 90 degrees about 1"
from end to create middle toe of turkey's foot. Attach short piece to long by
wrapping it at its middle around bend in long piece. Ends of short piece become
first and third toes. Use scissors to trim toes if necessary to create uniform
length. Repeat for other leg.
Glue legs to bottom of body pom-pom, allowing glue to dry
completely before standing turkey up. Spread toes apart to achieve a stable
base.
Corn Husk
Candles
Materials: 1 large rubber band, Medium-size
glass hurricane, Scissors, Dried corn husks, 1 yard orange yarn, Medium-size
pillar candle to fit inside hurricane,
Directions:
Wrap rubber band around hurricane, a few inches up from
bottom.
Trim corn husks to about ¾" shorter than hurricanes.
Working with 1 corn husk at a time, carefully lift rubber band and slide husk
underneath so pointed end is ¾" below lip of hurricane.
Continue sliding husks under rubber band, overlapping them
slightly, until they completely encircle hurricane.
Wind yarn around husks to cover rubber band, tying in a knot
in front to secure and trimming ends with scissors.
Use scissors to trim bottom edges of corn husks so they line
up neatly with bottom of hurricane.
Place candle inside hurricane and light.
