Gather the Supplies Needed
The supplies you will need to create your turkey ornaments can be found at any craft store and include: felt, a needle, scissors, thread, stuffing, and a pen. You may also want to use a hot glue gun, if you have one, as well as some googly eyes and ribbon to decorate.
Create a Simple Template
To create the template for your turkey ornament craft, use the felt to draw a simple outline of a turkey. Start by drawing a large oval shape for the body, then two wings and a tail in an upside-down “V” shape. Then, draw two legs and a head with a beak. Once you’re satisfied with the design, cut it out and set it aside.
Start Sewing the Pieces Together
Take the needle and thread and begin to stitch the pieces of the turkey together. Start with the body, then the legs, wings, tail, and finally the head. As you sew each piece, be sure to use a running stitch for a nice, even look. Once all of the pieces are stitched together, you can then start stuffing the turkey.
Stuff and Finish the Ornament
When stuffing the turkey ornament, use a small handful of stuffing and place it in the body. This will help to make the ornament a bit sturdier, but it’s not necessary. Once the body is stuffed, use the needle and thread to close the opening.
Decorate and Hang the Ornament
Now it’s time to decorate your turkey ornament craft. You can use googly eyes, ribbon, or any other decorations you can think of to make your turkey look festive and unique. Once you’re done decorating, use the thread to create a loop at the top of the ornament to hang it on your tree or in your home.
