Yarn ball Turkey Craft

November 18, 2013 By: Melanie

Adorable yarn ball turkey craft with paper feathers to write things we're thankful for.
This yarn ball turkey craft is a super quick, and fun little craft for Thanksgiving.  Perfect for the kids to help out and of course, fill in the feathers with things they are thankful for.  We first spotted this idea at Parents.com and had to give it a try!

Supplies:
  • 9 inch styrofoam ball
  • 2 inch styrofoam ball
  • 2 shades of brown yarn
  • 1 wooden skewer
  • toothpicks
  • small pieces of orange and red felt
  • googly eyes
  • construction paper
  • hot glue gun
First, cut off about a 1 inch piece of the 9 inch ball so the turkey will sit flat.

 Use a dab of hot glue to get the yarn started.

 Then wrap and wrap until the entire ball is covered.  Place another dab of hot glue on the end.

 Do the same with the smaller foam ball, then push the wood skewer through it.

 Next, skewer the smaller yarn ball into the bigger one.  Push some toothpicks into the front/bottom of the body.  This will keep it from being front heavy and tipping forward.

Last, hot glue a felt beak, gobbler and googly eyes onto the head.
Also hot glue some orange felt feet onto the toothpicks.

    I think you’ve got tons to brag concerning! and that i would not worry about being “overly boastful” as a result of you are tooting your own horn! i prefer to listen to the great stuff that folks do. It’s far better than hearing the long list of crap and ailments they’re experiencing over … and over … and once again. Hearing dangerous stuff all the time is simply not smart.
