HOW TO MAKE DIY THANKSGIVING TURKEY CUPCAKE TOPPERS
Supplies you will need:
- brown (we used 2 different shades), red, orange and yellow cardstock paper
- 3-inch circle punch
- 2-inch circle punch
- googly eyes
- red water balloons
- yellow paper straws
- glue stick
- tape
- scissors
Directions:
1. Start by gathering your supplies. For each turkey cupcake topper you will need to punch out two 3-inch circles in brown, one 2-inch circle in brown, an orange beak and small strips in red, orange and yellow. You’ll also need half of a yellow paper straw with an inch on the end of it flattened.
4. Put glue all over the other 3-inch brown circle and glue it onto the other circle to hide all the glued pieces.
5. Turn your turkey over and glue the 2-inch brown circle onto the larger circle to make the turkey face. Glue googly eyes onto the turkey face. Cut the end off of your red water balloon and glue it onto the turkey face for the waddle. Now glue the beak onto the turkey.
