Make This Easy Turkey Craft
Find out how to create this cute turkey craft using a footprint, a few handprints, and a paper plate.
Let's begin...
Gathering The Supplies
Before you start any project it is easiest to gather together all of the supplies. For this project you will need:
Paint the Paper Plate
Start out by painting the back of the paper plate brown. This might take a few coats, depending on the quality of your paint.
Tracing Your Hand
You will want between 6 and 8 handprints. Start out by tracing your hand on one half of 3 or 4 sheets of paper. Fold the paper in half as shown in the picture. Cut out the handprint through both thicknesses of paper. This will leave you with 6 to 8 handprints. Set them aside.
Tracing Your Foot
Next, you will want to trace your foot on a brown piece of construction paper. It is even easier to trace a shoe rather than your foot. Cut out the footprint. Set it aside.
Cut Out the Turkey Face
Using scrap construction paper, cut out a beak and a waddle for your turkey. Set these aside and move on to the next step...
Glue on the Turkey's Feathers
Glue the handprints onto the unpainted side of the paper plate, poking up over the top edge as shown in the photo. Your fingers will look like the turkey's feathers.
Glue on the Turkey's Head
Glue your footprint/shoe print toe side down onto the front, center of the painted plate. Glue on the beak and waddle that you cut out. Also, glue on a pair of wiggle eyes.
To make some feet for your turkey, start out by cutting a chenille stem in half so you have two pieces that are about 6-inches long. Fold each chenille stem into quarters so it resembles a capital letter M.
Put a generous dab of glue in two spots on the bottom edge of your paper plate and glue on the turkey's feet as shown. That's it, your turkey is now done!
