Coffee Filter Turkeys - Thanksgiving Kid Craft Idea

Turkey Craft Idea Made From Coffee Filters

Did you catch our Leaf Turkey tutorial that went live yesterday?

We have been on a “turkey” crafting kick lately on Glued To My Crafts and we are continuing on with the “gobble gobble” theme of Thanksgiving, with our Coffee Filter Turkeys tutorial. This kid friendly craft is super easy to make and of course – the supplies are inexpensive too {we are talking cents!!!}

Our turkeys got a tye-dye look for their feathers, which makes it fun to hang on a window and see the colors brighten up with the sun. Plus with the FREE turkey body printable I’ve included in the supply list below, you will be well on your way to pulling this rainbow colored turkey art project idea together within minutes!

So friends – if you are looking for something for your child to do this afternoon {and bust that boredom bubble in your home} THIS upcycled turkey craft is a must do. Read the full tutorial below for the how-to, as well access to the free printable. Then grab some craft supplies and get to work on making it happen! Your kid is going to love this Thanksgiving themed craft!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your beautiful coffee filter turkey friends with us on our Facebook page. We just LOVE seeing the inspiration come to life! #gluedtomycrafts
