Right after Halloween I was able to get 15 boxes of Dots on clearance for .33 cents each. I know some of you thought I was crazy buying that many, but I knew I wanted to use them for my sons birthday party. I was able to use my thrifty find, to make a cute craft project. It was a total hit with the kids, and they were all so proud of their little turkeys.
Start out with a box of dots or any other candy.
Cover it with a tan sheet of card stock
I then used my Stampin Up punches to cut out;
- a large circle for the head
- 2 small circles for the eyes, and a hole punch for the eye middle
- a square for the beak
- round scallop circles for the turkey feathers
Fold the square to make a beak, and use the circles for eyes
Glue the head to the bottom of the box
Fold the scallops circles into a “V” shape
Glue the back part of the “V”
Glue them above the Turkey head
I had all the shapes pre cut for the kids, they had a blast making them!
I saw this idea on a email from a friend, and changed it to work for my kids.

that SHAPE!!! ………… thats the punch that I saw on a turkey craft at the craft fair, I bought one to make some myself, I have the cricut and figured it was a flower shape cut on the cricut, I cut a bunch out it just didn’t work right for me, Anyeay the lady took a bunch of different colors of card stock, and 2 brown for each one, on one brown you glue wiggle eyes, and a waddle and a beak attach to a York pepermint patty on the back glue HALF of the flower shape (3-4) for feathers layering slightly, cut the other half in 1/3 and glue one third on each side for wings. and glue the last brown one on the back to cover up all the other parts and this section is layerd but still flat, you glue dot or other easy to use adhisive to the back of the peppermint patty.
What a cute idea! Clever woman that you are.
FYI- Shame on me if I think anything negative of your purchases.
