Supplies:

Instructions:

  1. With a compass, make circles on cardboard of the following sizes in inches: 6 1/2, 6, 5 1/2, 5 and 4 1/2.
  2. Cut circles out and use as templates on fabric cutting one circle of each size. You will have 5 circles.
  3. Sew each circle about 1/4 inch around the edge with a basting stitch, pull up and gather thus forming a yo yo. Tack thread in the middle to secure gathering. Do this with all circles.
  4. Now starting with the 6 1/2 inch yo yo on the bottom, stack the other circles over the big yo yo (gathered side up) ending with a 4 1/2 inch yo yo on top. Run a double thread up through the center of the yo yo stack and secure.

  7. Fold each piece in half lengthwise and slightly gather raw edge at bottom forming a fan shape.
  8. Hot glue each strip to one fan shaped piece of brown felt (see picture).
  9. Now using your glue gun and the picture as a guide, assemble the turkey cutting pointed feet from the brown foam sheet.
