Making a Turkey Pumpkin Centerpiece

Total Time: 20 minutes

Supplies:

• a pumpkin
• some felt or even stiff colored paper
• glue
• a pretty bow or ribbon to make one
• optional 2 sequins for the center of the eyes
• a thumbtack
• straw
• a tongue depressor or a piece of stiff cardboard

Steps:

1. Cut felt into the turkey shapes shown in my photo and glue pieces on with craft glue

 
2. Include a simple bow shape and add the little sequins in the center of the eyes.

 
3. Glue Tom onto a craft stick or firm cardboard on the back for strength and to stand alone upright

4. Either make a bow with some ribbon (as pictured here) or use an existing bow you may have and tie it to the stem on the back of Tom to make a pretty but simple tail display.

 

 
5. I chose to attach the 'Tom' front to the pumpkin with one thumbtack in the middle of the bow. Easy!

 
6. I sat him in a bed of shreddings that I had from a gift basket.
7. I think he looks pretty cute, don't you agree?
