So I'm all about easy crafts that are adorable as well. Turkeys seem to be perfect subject matter for these types of crafts. So when I found some leftover colored craft sticks and some feathers, I know W and I were making some turkeys because I'm a huge Thanksgiving fan! And I love how quick and easy thiscraft stick turkeywas to make!

Craft Stick Turkey

Normally I would have used only red, orange, yellow, and brown feathers to go along with colors that remind me of fall and Thanksgiving. But I didn't have all of those in my leftover feathers so I added the light blue feather as a bit of an accent. I have to admit that I love it! So this is a great craft for leftover supplies and being creative with colors makes it fun!

What you need:

Large craft sticks (regular or colored)
Paint (if desired)
3 feathers per craft stick
2 googly eyes per stick
Orange construction paper scrap
Red construction paper scrap
Scissors
Craft glue

What you do:

If you have plain craft sticks rather than colored and want to paint them, paint desired color and allow to dry.
Glue the feathers on one side of the craft stick and allow to dry.
Glue googly eyes on other side of clothespin.
Snip a small triangle of orange construction paper below eyes to make the turkey's beak.
Cut a small squiggle shape of red construction paper and glue on side of orange beak.
Let dry and enjoy!

W loves to play with these along with our Clothespin Turkeys! These craft stick turkeys could find a home on the dinner table or they could be fun seasonal bookmarks. Or just a ton of fun to make and play with!
