Tutorial:
1. Paint the cup
Start by painting the outside of your styrofoam cup with your brown paint and set it aside to dry completely.
2. Cut out shapes
Cut a 3-inch circle out of your brown cardstock paper. Also cut a triangle beak, heart shaped snood and accordion folded orange feet.
3. Glue on brown face & feathers
Once your cup has dried, use glue dots to glue the brown face onto the front of the cup. Add tacky glue onto the back of the cup and place several feathers on it in a layered look.
4. Add details to the turkey
Finish your turkey by gluing on the beak, snood, googly eyes and feet.
