Craft Stick Thanksgiving Turkey Puppet

To make a craft stick Thanksgiving turkey puppet, you need a few supplies and a few minutes. They to together quickly.

I used some of the wonderful materials in our complimentary box of goodies from Craftprojectideas.com including Jumbo Colored Craft Sticks (the orange ones), Jumbo Colored Craft Sticks, Wiggly Eyes, Dark Colored Fuzzy Sticks, and Brown Feathers.

Materials Needed to Make a Craft Stick Thanksgiving Turkey Puppet

Jumbo Colored Craft Sticks (the orange ones)
Small amount of orange felt, craft foam or paper (for beak)
Jumbo Colored Craft Sticks
Dark Colored Fuzzy Sticks
Wiggly Eyes
Brown Feathers
Red Sharpie marker
Hot glue

Using five of the Fuzzy Sticks, one of each of the colors included in the Dark Colored Fuzzy Sticks, I formed each one into two loops.

Just kind of twist them around each other in the middle to hold them together like shown in the picture below. Repeat with each color.

Arrange like feathers as desired and glue them to the back of the orange Jumbo Colored Craft Stick.

This is what it will look like:

Glue three or four Brown Feathers to the bottom section of the orange Jumbo Colored Craft Stick.

Glue on two Wiggly Eyes and a small triangle for the beak. Using the red Sharpie marker, draw a wattle. I know, what is that really supposed to look like?! Something like shown below will work!
