Create this fun Thanksgiving ribbon streamer turkey with just a few common craft supplies.
Gather these supplies:
- Toilet paper roll
- Patterned paper cardstock (shades of brown work really well)
- Yellow and orange feathers
- 10″ lengths of autumn colored ribbons
- Yellow or orange felt scrap
- Two googly eyes
- 12″ length of twine or yarn
- Liquid craft glue
- Double-sided tape (optional)
Let’s make the ribbon streamer turkey:
- Measure circumference and height of the toilet roll, and cut the cardstock to fit. Mine measured 5½” x 4¼”. Cut twine and ribbons to length. The number of ribbon lengths that you need will depend on the width of the ribbons.
- Using liquid glue or double-sided tape cover the toilet paper roll with the patterned paper or cardstock.
- Pierce two hole at the top of the roll, and thread the twine through the holes. Secure with knots on the inside of the roll.
- Glue or tape the ribbons to the inside bottom of the roll.
- Glue the feathers to the top front of the roll.
- Cut a small triangle from a felt scrap for the bead. Glue the beak and googly eyes in place.
- Display your ribbon streamer thanksgiving turkey and enjoy!!
