Trace the patterns from the pattern section and cut as indicated. To make each turkey section, align and pin the matching felt pieces.
Outer tail: Cut 2!
Use brown floss to stitch each tail and gold floss to stitch the body Inner tale: Cut 2!
body: Cut 2!
Wings: Cut 4!
Beak & Wattle: Cut 1 each
Blanket Stitch With thread below the needle; up at 1, down at 2, up at 3. Pull through.
Work blanket stitches around each section with three strands of floss. Lightly stuffing each section with fiberfill as you work
The outer wing Stuffed and ready!
Use hot glue gun to glue eyes, beak and wattle to the face of the body. Use your strip of fabric and tie a bow, put a "V" shape on the ends. Hot glue bow to body at neck. Hot glue buttons to body.
*Use brown floss to work stitches around each wing; do not stuff. On a flat surface, align the two tails and body upright; pin in place. Pin the wings behind the body with pointed ends down and round ends even with the neck. Hot Glue wings to body.
Hot glue the body and wings to the small tail, and the small tail to the large tail, removing pins as each section is glued
Once all pieces are hot glued together, you have an adorable Thanksgiving Turkey!
