In Celebration of Thanksgiving!!


I found this adorable Scallop Punch Turkey while surfing the web a few nights ago, and thought it would be perfect to celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday! I couldn't believe how STINKING cute this fowl was!
It is made out of a few scallop punches in a few different colors. You cut 4 different colors in half, and with your scissors cut a little space between scallops for the feathered tail look. For the body/head- take another scallop punch and cut to match the shape in the picture...I am not sure how to describe that well. I guess make a triangle of sorts, does that work? The beak and turkey chin (that is the technical term), is made from a small flower punch (from the spring bouquet). The feet are kind of hard to see but they are made from a scrap piece that has little whimsical talons cut into them. :) How do you like that description! I think these would be adorable for name cards for Thanksgiving dinner. I would opt to make these as long as I don't have to cook. :) I hope you enjoy this cute little tid-bit.

So cute. I found one the other day similar to this that used a flower from the spiral bouquet punch for the feet as well, but your feet are cuter! How do you find the time?
