Thanksgiving Wreath

Well, when the husband's away, the wife will play! Jesse worked all day so I crafted :) Friday I went out and got supplies to make my Thanksgiving wreath. Today, I put it all together!

Here's what you need: 

- a styrofoam wreath

- brown yarn

- yellow, orange, red tulle

- wooden balls

- white and black paint

- red and yellow foam placemat

- hot glue

Here's what you do: 

Paint the wooden balls white, then paint a black circle on them to make the eyes. Wrap the brown yarn all around the styrofoam wreath. Cut pieces of the three colors of tulle (length depends on how long you want your turkey feathers). Tie your tulle strips onto about 3/4 of the wreath. I alternated colors. I hot glued the eyes onto the middle of the remaining exposed brown yarn. I created a beak and wattle out of the foam placemat (I wanted something a little more weather resistant than paper). You could also use a styrofoam cone and paint it yellow if you'd rather. Hot glue the beak and wattle on. Add a longer piece of tulle as a hanger. Ta-da!! 

Fairly easy project for a boring day at home :)
