Wrap the yarn around the book about 125 times. Cut two 12″ pieces of brown yarn. Use one piece to tie the yarn that’s wrapped around your book. Remove the yarn from the book by sliding it off.

Cut the yarn about 2″ on each side of the tie. This is your turkey head.

Shape your turkey head and body by keeping the tail on (the one you tied) and holding in your hand. Trim over the trash can and even out your circle.

Set the head on top of the body. Glue the two pieces together or, tie your tails together. Trim any straggly yarn pieces if desired. Set aside.

Find a bowl or glass about the size of your turkey and use it to trace a half circle onto a piece of cardboard. (My circle template was about 3-1/2″) Cut out the cardboard.

Cut out two pieces of brown felt to match the circle. Glue the cardboard to one side of the felt and attach feathers. Add the last piece of felt and glue to cover the feathers when the feathers are all on.

Cut a beak and red hangy thingie (the wattle) from orange and red felt. Glue onto your head.

Glue on the googly eyes and the tail feather piece onto the back of the turkey.

Make the turkey legs by folding a pipe cleaner in half and twisting it halfway down. Take the loop and divide it into three hooks. Take these three hooks and twist them to create feet.

Glue your feet onto the bottom of your turkey and bend to shape into a sitting position.
