Paper Bag Turkey Costume
With Thanksgiving right around the corner I wanted to do my own spin on a classic Thanksgiving craft. These paper bag turkey costumes will provide entertainment so that you have time to cook the real turkey along with everything else you need to get done.
Supplies needed:
- Brown paper bag
- Cardstock paper
- Hot glue gun
- Hole puncher
- Scissors
- Orange felt
- Ruler
- 1/4 measuring cup
Instructions:
- Start by opening the paper bag and cutting up the lime on the side. The bag will naturally form a triangle and you will want to cut along those lines as well.
- Next turn the bag inside out so all of the print is hidden.
- Create a head hole by cutting out the center rectangle outlined by the bag.
- To help make the shoulder straps sturdy, fold over the extra pieces and glue them down.
- On the front of the bag create three lines and use the measuring cup to trace half circles.
6. Cut out the half circles and pop them out to create a 3D effect.7. Cut cardstock paper into 1.5 by 12 inch pieces.8. Glue two pieces of the same color together then twist the strip to look like a feather.
9. Create headpiece using two strips of paper.10. Use your hole punch to create the eyes and cut out a triangle for the beak. Glue a balloon under the eyes and beak to be the wattle.11. Use felt to create turkey spurs. Wrap them around your child’s shoe and secure with a safety pin or Velcro.
