Looking for a unique turkey craft? My inspiration came from painting our house last week and all the paint samples I found!
Paint Sample Turkey Craft
Supplies:
- Plastic bottle
- Brown paint
- Paint samples
- Wiggly eyes
- Foam sheets
- Glue
1) Put several squirts of brown paint in a plastic bottle (we used a Fuze bottle). Add a small amount (start with 1/4 tsp) of water, replace the cap, and shake! Don’t use too much water or the paint won’t stick very well to the inside of the bottle!
2) Glue 8-10 paint samples in a fan shape. Allow to dry. Use a hot glue gun to attach the paint samples to the bottle (for feathers).
3) Use a hot glue gun to glue on wiggly eyes. Use foam sheets for the beak, waddle, and feet.
I had some heart fun foam shapes. We used two for the beak (a small and medium heart), one for the waddle, and two for the feet.
