Materials:
Cereal box circles (or boxes and circle cutter)
glue (glue stick or craft glue)
small cardboard or foam core
scrapsscissors
popsicle sticks
"I set out all of my cut circles and began layering to create colorful little turkeys, not gluing until I was satisfied with the overall appearance. Experiment with the front and backsides of the cereal boxes, patterns and solids, so as not to have too many competing patterns or like colors on top of each other.Place a large circle in back, cutting off the bottom and making slits around the rest to form the tail feathers.
Choose smaller circles for the body, one or layer two. Cut one circle in half for the wings. Use the smallest circles for the head and wattle. (Sidenote: It surprised me to see how many people have googled "What's the name for that red dangly thing on a turkey's neck?")Cut little eyes and a beak.For added dimension, layer small pieces of cardboard or foam core board between some of the body parts. See the middle picture above.Once you're satisfied with your design, glue.Glue a popsicle stick on the back and poke your turkey into a plant, centerpiece (make a bunch for an all turkey centerpiece), bowl of candy or cranberries, your baked sweet potatoes, whatever."
