Turkey Place Cards

I wanted to come up with a cute and easy way to make a place setting card.  I looked through my supplies and saw that I already had craft foam and pipe cleaners.   Since I just bought a new glue gun tonight (for only $2.99)  I designed this little guy. 

I cut out a peanut shape for the body and two tear drops for the wings.  

Please excuse the extra glue on the eyeball.  I forgot how hot they get and burned myself, which caused me to get extra glue on the eye.  I used google eyes and scraps of orange and red craft foam to make his face. 

To make the feathers, I cut pipe cleaners in half.  I curled them by wrapping them around a pencil. 

I then  glued the feathers to the back side of the body. 

To make the legs, I cut a yellow pipe cleaner in half, and then cut the halves in half.   I then wrapped one of the halves around the other piece to form the feet. 

I glued the legs onto the back of the body, and also added the wings.   You can either write the name directly on the turkey,  or on a small piece of cardstock.  I slipped the cardstock under the wings but did not glue it down.  This way I can reuse the turkey each year, but change the names and needed. 

When your Thanksgiving table is set,  place the turkey onto the plates.
