Turkey How To

I've said before, all my best ideas are borrowed.  Well here are the directions of how I made these turkey hairbows

What you need:

Grosgrain Ribbon 3/8"

Brown: ~25"

Yellow: ~16"

Orange: ~16" +scrap for beak

Red: ~8" +scrap for the wattle

2 Googly eyes

1 Metal All Purpose Hair Clip (I bought mine at Sally Beauty)

Hot glue gun

Fabric scissors

Cut ribbon for feathers: one 3.5" piece and one 4" piece for each feather

You need 2 yellow feathers, 2 orange feathers and 1 red one.

Cut brown ribbon for the body: one 3" piece, two 3.5" piece, 

one 4" piece, one 5" piece to wrap hair clip

Cut beak and wattle.

Loop 3.5" piece and put small drop of glue at base to hold.

 Loop 4" piece around smaller loop using glue drops as needed to secure.  

I then put one of the extra hair clips on the loop to hold it while it dries.

Repeat for all 5 feathers.

 Glue and wrap hair clip with largest brown ribbon piece.

Make turkey's body just like feathers, the body consists of 3 loops.

Make the turkey's head (see photo) and glue to body.

 Add beak and wattle using small drops of hot glue.

 Arrange feathers and attach to clip with hot glue.  Attach feathers to clip end (not base).

 Glue body and head to feathers.

Finally attach eyes

Please let me know if any of the steps need more clarity.  I hope yours turn out super cute!
