I've been married to my husband for almost 6 years, but this is the first house we've stayed in for longer than a year. Moving a lot isn't really conducive to collecting decorations for the holidays, so for Halloween, I went a bit nuts. Then Halloween came and went and I haven't wanted to take down my Halloween decor because I don't have any Thanksgiving stuff!
I decided to remedy that. A bit ago I went to a local craft store and bought some stuff to make some turkeys. Here's my supply list:
Paint and supplies
feathers
googly eyes
orange pipe cleaner
wooden circles in two different sizes
My boys are always stoked to be painting so it wasn't hard to get them to participate. Jamesen mixed all of his paint together while painting and Marcus decided to do his multi colored.
As you can see, they both loved it.
When they were done painting, we let them sit and dry for about 2 hours.
Normally I would use wood or craft glue, I was being lazy and wanted to just finish them and put them up so I used hot glue instead.. I glued the circles together first, then the eyes. I made a beak and feet out of the pipe cleaner and then we stuck on the feathers.
Look how proud they are!
Maybe I'll get around to taking down my Halloween decor now? We'll see.
