Supplies:
- circle doily (we used an 8-inch)
- Do A Dot Markers
- brown, orange and red cardstock paper
- googly eyes
- red water balloon
- scissors
- glue
Step-by-step tutorial:
1. Decorate your doily
Start by using your Do A Dot Markers to decorate your doily. Use as many colors and put as many dots as you want.
2. Make and glue turkey body
Cut a bowling ball shape out of your brown cardstock paper for the turkey body and glue it onto your doily.
3. Glue on eyes, beak & waddle
Glue your googly eyes onto your turkey. Cut the end off of your red water balloon (this makes it easier to glue on) and use a glue stick to glue it onto your turkey. Cut a beak out of your orange cardstock paper and glue it onto your turkey.
4. Lastly – add legs
To finish your turkey, cut two strips from your orange cardstock paper, fold them accordion style and glue them on the back of the doily, so you have turkey legs hanging down.
