DIY Thanksgiving Ribbon Turkey Decoration
Add a little fun and whimsy this Thanksgiving with this Quick and Easy Ribbon Turkey Decoration.
Featured Storage: Deflecto Ribbon Dispenser and Deflecto Stackable Caddy Organizer
Materials Needed:
- Felt Pieces: Brown, Red, and Yellow
- Assorted Ribbon
- Googly Eyes
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun or Craft Glue
- Clothespin
- Cardstock
- Permanent Marker
- Ruler
Directions:
- Draw a simple turkey body, beak, and wobbler on the cardstock to create a pattern.
- Or, you can download, print, and cut Design Team Member Beth Watson’s turkey pattern here.
- Trace pattern pieces onto the felt and cut out. (Cut two turkey bodies)
- Glue googly eyes, beak, and wobbler onto the turkey body.
- Measure and cut six-inch lengths of rainbow-colored ribbon from your craft stash. Fold each piece of ribbon into a loop and secure at the ends with a glue gun and glue sticks. For each turkey, you will need 10-12 loops of ribbon.
- Line up the loops in the color pattern that you prefer. Attach each rainbow ribbon loop to the back piece of the turkey body with a glue gun and glue sticks. Measure and cut two lengths of yellow ribbon six inches long, tie a not near one end, and then cut out a triangle notch to resemble the turkey legs. Glue to the bottom of the body of the turkey.
- Glue the front piece of the turkey onto the back, which will cover all of the ribbon ends. Attach a wooden spring-style clothespin to the back center of the turkey with a glue gun with the clip end pointing up.
Ribbon Turkey Decorations make Great Place Cards for your Thanksgiving Table.
Cut a strip of cardstock 3/4″ in width, hand letter your name onto the strip with a Permanent Marker, and then clip into the clothespin. The wooden clothespin acts as a stand for the turkey to sit and a clip to hold the names as place cards.
The Ribbon Turkey Decoration was designed by Beth Watson.
