I am SO excited to be guest posting here today. I have a blog called Bits Of Everything will my 3 sisters and 1 sister-in-law. We’d love for you to pop over and see all the other fun things we’ve posted!
Do you still have pumpkins that didn’t get carved? If not, go. get. some. now!!!
These pumpkin turkeys are SO cute and fun to make!
I used a pattern and traced 5 turkey feathers on 1/2 inch mdf particle board.
Then I traced the head onto the same board and cut it out with a band saw.
I cut the wattle (yes, that is what it’s called and yes, I did have to look it up! :) and the beak out of 1/8 inch particle board.
Then I quickly sanded all the pieces and painted all of the pieces brown.
Next, I modge podged scrapbook paper on the top of them all. I used different paper on all the feathers and inked the edges to give them a more feathery look. The modge podge is important if it will ever be outside.
This helps protect it from the weather and keep it nice.
Then I drilled1/4 in hole in the bottom of all the feathers and inserted a wooden dowel.
Do the same with the back of the face. (Do not drill too deep into the face!)
Then I glued the face pieces together and added some button eyes!
And there you have it……..PUMPKIN TURKEYS!
