Turkey Treat Holder

Turkey Treat Holder

You will need:

Pencil

Cardboard Egg carton

Scissors

Tempera paint (brown and orange)

Red pipe cleaner

Pushpin (optional)

2 googly eyes

Colored feathers

Glue

Scotch tape 

White paper

Toothpick

Marker

Instructions:

Draw a cut line around one of the cups in the egg carton. I was able to make four turkeys out of one egg carton.

Next cut along the line.

Paint the entire cup using the brown paint leaving a small area for the beak which you will later paint orange after the brown has dried completely.

Let dry.

Cut a four inch piece of pipe cleaner.

Fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist the ends together to form a wattle. Push the exposed wire through the top of the turkey's beak until one third of the pipe cleaner is through the hole. (Tip: Stick a pushpin through the carton first.) To keep the wattle from slipping out, bend down the inserted end.

Glue on the googly eyes and feathers.

To make a name tag, cut out a strip of white paper and write your guests name on each strip.

On the back side of each strip place a toothpick and secure with tape.

Stick the toothpick through one side of the turkey. 

The holder is ready to fill with nuts or another tasty treat!

Tip: Make sure to use pencil when creating your cut lines.  If you use a marker it may show through your paint.
