Pinterest is so much fun! I love to browse and get ideas for new projects, don't you? I saw several versions of these ribbon turkeys. I saw them as hair bows, pins to wear, and even on onesies and t-shirts. I decided to dig into my felt and ribbon stash and create my own version. I made one for my daughter's hair and two for her preschool teachers to wear on their aprons. They turned out so cute! I hand cut each body from felt - 2 per turkey. The ribbons are cut to about 2.5 inches. I laid the folded ribbons and lightly tacked them with glue to one body and covered up all the ends with the second (front) body. I stitched all around the felt body to secure everything in place. My turkeys have a felt nose and googly eyes. Then I added either a clip or a pin to the back. For the teachers, I pinned the turkey onto a thank you notecard made with scrapbook papers (love these papers from Authentique!). Cute, quick, and easy!
Happy Turkey Day, Everyone!
