Now that the ghouls and goblins have retreated back into the depths of the haunted forests, the new season of Fall brings us many things to be thankful for.  Visits from family members from across the way, recipes passed down from generation to generation, and the delicious Turkey and sides that bring our friends and family around the table for Thanksgiving Dinner.  At Blindsmax.com, we decided what better way to greet all of this seasons’ visitors than with a DIY Turkey Wreath!  Our resident blogger Jenn White found this step by step tutorial to make this adorable Turkey Wreath to greet all your guests with a friendly
“Gobble Gobble!” on www.babyrabies.com via Pinterest.

Here is the list of materials you will need to complete the Turkey Wreath:  (You can all of these materials at Hobby Lobby or a similar store such as JoAnn’s or Michael’s.)

(2) Styrofoam balls about the size of ping pongs

(1) Small styrofoam cone

(3) Toothpicks

(1) Sytrofoam wreath

(1) Sheet of RED craft foam

Black and Yellow Acrylic Paint

Brown Yarn

Paint the pupils on the white ping pong size styrofoam balls.  You will also pain the styrofoam cone yellow for the beak.

Step Two:

Wrap a 1/3 of the styrofoam wreath in brown yarn, this will be the area that is not covered by the tulle.

Step Three:

Next, you will need to cut the pieces of the tulle for the “feathers”.  Of the three colors or however many colors you chose to use, alternate the colors to bring a vibrant mix of fall colors to the wreath.

Step Four:

Use your toothpicks to stick both eyes and the beak into the wreath.

Step Five:

Fold your red piece of craft foam in half and cut a swiggly piece out to serve as the waddle of the turkey.  Make sure that it is skinnier at the top where the fold is to allow the fold to stay in piece.  Once the piece is cut simply use your glue gun to glue on this piece to the beak so it will stay put.

Step Six:

Let the kiddos name your turkey and enjoy your Seasons Greeter!
