LightbulbTurkeys

We FINALLY finished our turkeys that we started 3 weeks ago when grandma was here. The idea came from here, but you can buy all the supplies at Hobby Lobby.

You need one lightbulb per turkey.
They had these cute mini light bulbs too, so we made "baby turkeys" for the kids. My mom made a template for the feathers while she was here, and cut them out from orange and brown felt. We also used the felt for the rest of the pieces. Everything was attached with tacky craft glue, but you could probably use a glue gun too. Will's job was to unscrew all the light bulb lids and fill them with candy corn.
I just drew the eyes on with a sharpie.
We are going to use them as place card holders for thanksgiving.

My little turkey. :)
