Instructions:
1. Take the popcorn popper and unbend foil edge and remove the Jiffy ® cardboard packaging and wire hanger. Use the cardboard circle as a template to cut a circle out of the brown construction paper. Place brown construction paper and package instructions onto popper, attach wire hanger, and then fold edges over.
2. To make the head cut out a rectangular piece of paper with the top two corners rounded. Glue dot the head onto the hanger. Glue dot two buttons for eyes, yellow paper triangle for beak, and red curling ribbon for the snood.
3. To make the ribbon feathers for the turkey: Cut a 24” piece of Bowdabra Bow Wire and fold it in half. Lay it into the Bowdabra. You’ll have a loop at one end and two loose pieces at the opposite end.
4. Cut a 13” piece of scrap ribbon and fold it in half. Position your scissors at the folded edge of the ribbon and cut a 45 °angle on each end. Unfold your ribbon and you have a professional, finished look to your ribbon tails. Cut and angle several pieces of ribbon.
5. Place the ribbon strands into the Bowdabra at all different angles.
6. Scrunch ribbon down with the Bowdabra Wand.
7. While the bow is still in the Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire through the loop at the other end.
8. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.
9. Gently pull the bow out of the Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow. To tie off the bow, pinch the Bowdabra Bow Wire securely against the bow. Twist the bow 4 to 6 times in a clockwise direction.
10. Fluff turkey feather bow.
11. Tie the Bowdabra Bow Wire to the handle of the popcorn popper and hang your handmade turkey on the wall.
