I don't know why crafting up turkeys are so much fun? Could it be because they're so silly looking? It may have something to do with their crazy wattle? Or their weird shape? Or all their feathers? Who knows?
These little candy turkeys can be worn as necklaces, or just sitting at each place setting on your Thanksgiving table. They're very similar to the bat necklaces I made for Halloween. Remember?

Making a Candy Turkey Necklace
Supplies needed to make Candy Turkey Necklaces:
-small storage containers (from the Dollar Store or online- click here.)
-googly eyes
-hot glue
-black cording, ribbon or string
-colored fun foam in red, yellow and orange
-red ric-rac or red ribbon
-scissors
-Crop-o-dile or a very, very strong hole punch
-M&M's (or other small candies)
-small storage containers (from the Dollar Store or online- click here.)
-googly eyes
-hot glue
-black cording, ribbon or string
-colored fun foam in red, yellow and orange
-red ric-rac or red ribbon
-scissors
-Crop-o-dile or a very, very strong hole punch
-M&M's (or other small candies)
First, using a hot glue gun, glue on two wiggly eyes to the container.
Next, cut a small triangle out of the orange fun foam and a small piece of the red ric-rac. Hot glue the nose and wattle in place.
Make tiny little cuts around the feathers.
Glue feathers onto the back of the container. Place hot glue on each feather, before sticking on the next one.
Using a Cropodile tool, punch a hole over the dot. (This is my favorite crafting tool, ever! It punches holes through anything!Using ribbon, string or black cording, measure out about 30-33 inches.
Thread both ends into the hole of the lid, and tie a knot.
Tie a few knots to keep the cording from pulling through. I tied three knots right on top of each other.
Trim the ends.
Happy Thanksgiving!
