Here is another quick and easy turkey craft just in time for turkey day. The glass bowl is from the dollar store. The head is made from a ping pong ball, also from the dollar store. The feathers are from Michaels. I think I got them for about $2, and there are plenty in the package to make several crafts.
I know turkeys are brown, but I decided to go with orange so it would be easier to see the light when it was turned on. I used acrylic paint that also works on glass on both the bowl and the ping pong ball. Once it was dry, I used a glue gun to add the feathers to the back and the head to the front. I used felt for the beak, but it can also be made from paper, craft foam, or anything else you want to use.
My votive found a home in the downstairs bathroom near a bouquet of fall flowers. Inside the bowl is a battery operated tea light that is also found at the dollar store.
He looks happy all a glow!
I like the orange turkey!!

Thank you Winnie.. My daughter was making fun of it being orange, but if it was brown the light would not show through.. :)

DeleteHow cute! I love it when it's all lit up with the candle inside.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Looks like something my little one would love to "help" make. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute and easy to pull together. I love crafts like that. I don't always have the time to craft, so this would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove them! My daughter would have a blast making these with me :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cute. I pinned it. =0)
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks with the glow, but it's super cute without being lit too.
