We’re making our paper plate turkey as an addition to our fall wreath made of pom-poms that I shared with you last week. Start by cutting the center out of your paper plate and covering the edges with pom-poms. See the full tutorial here.

Next, stack your paper together and cut what look like long leaves. You only need one or two for the Turkey’s tail feathers. The stack of paper should give you four feathers per cut out.

Once the pom-poms on the paper plate have dried flip the plate over and attach the paper feathers to the top part of the plate. If you’d like the turkey to have a face flip the plate back over and add a triangle of orange paper to the lower half of the wreath for a beak.

Let the glue dry and hang up your paper plate turkey craft as a Thanksgiving decoration!
