Have a HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Tasty Turkey Treat

2011-11-12T17:41:58-08:00

Last month I saw several Halloween witches made with the skinny cello bags. I thought it would be fun to try making some turkeys using the same idea. Here's what I came up with...

This little turkey is so fun to make. If you want to try it, I used two different size Scallop Circle dies with the Big Shot to make the body. I also used the Scallop Oval punch for the feathers, pieces cut from the small Scallop circle punch for the beak and feet, a piece cut from a heart punch for the "beard" and I created the hat free hand. The legs were made by cutting a skinny cello bag in half and stuffed with Tootsie Rolls and the had was made using a Sweet Treat cup filled with M&M's.

If you need any supplies to make the turkey, you can order them on my website at www.oh2bstampin.stampinup.net. If you need any assistance, feel free to email me at oh2bstampin@yahoo.com.

Happy Turkey Day!
