Turkey Votive

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!
