Cut one-half an egg shape (body) from the goldenrod felt, approximately 2 1/2 x 3 inches.
Cut a small elongated triangle from the goldenrod felt for the beak.
From red felt, cut an elongated heart shape, about one-inch long.
From black felt, cut a simple top hat and a small rectangle for the buckle.
From the white felt, cut a small rectangle for the buckle a little bit larger than the black one.
Lay the plain jumbo craft stick on the table. This will be your base stick.
Starting from the right, glue craft sticks into a fan shape, stacking one on top of the other as you go. Our pattern goes brown, yellow, red, brown, yellow, red, orange, brown.
You should have one brown craft stick left over. This is your turkey's body. Glue it straight up and down onto the middle of the fan shape.

Glue the beak in place just above the gobbler.
Glue wiggle eyes above the beak.
