How to make craft
First you will need a few stripes from each of the colored sheets to make your paper turkey. Take your ruler and measure 1/2 on both sides on let’s say yellow sheet of paper. Connect the dots and cut the stripe.
Repeat the same procedure on the other colors, orange and red sheets. I had 4 stripes of each color. If you think you have less than you need you can always cut more.
To create the tail of your paper turkey you will need 3 stripes in different colors for one section of the tail. So start by cutting one of the stripes in half, cut the other to be bigger than the half and use the third stripe as it is. Fold them in a way they reach the ends together and attach the ends using stapler. This is one section of the tail,
You will need to repeat the procedure from step 3 four more times mixing the colors as you want to make a very unique paper turkey.
At the end attach all the pieces together using stapler or glue to create the tail of the paper turkey.
Now draw the body of the turkey on a brown cardboard. Make sure it is proportionally big enough for the tale you’ve created previously. When you are happy with the drawn shape, cut it using scissors.
Glue the goggly eyes on the head of the paper turkey. Cut a wattle from the red paper and beak from the yellow paper. Attach them on the bottom of the head overlapping a little. And Glue body to the tail.
