Stained Glass Turkeys – Thanksgiving Kid Craft Idea

Happy Monday readers! I’m so excited you landed on today’s Stained Glass Turkeys kid craft idea!

Boy do I have a TON of kid friendly Thanksgiving crafts to share with you all but till then – this is ONE to pay close attention too. Especially if you are looking for a different way to craft up a turkey with your child, in honor of the upcoming holiday {Gobble Gobble!}

These Tissue Paper Covered Stained Glass Turkeys are just as easy as my past tutorials on Glued To My Crafts. I’ve even made a  few FREE printables to go along with this craft, so all you need to do is snag the provided freebie, print it out and craft away even faster! My goal was to make it super easy for you and I hope I did just that!

So my friends… there is no need to think out designs or wonder “what the heck did I just draw?” Simply grab up your supplies and make up these stained glass inspired beauties with the full tutorial and free file below!

Happy crafting my friends and don’t forget to share pictures of your tissue paper and cardstock turkeys with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

* First download and print the FREE stained glass turkey printables {both pages} on simple white cardstock paper.
* Using your scissors, trim out the turkey pieces. For the feather portion {where the stained glass effort will be} you can cut out different sections {or all} to get various looks. No two turkeys will look alike!
* Now grab your contact paper and cut two pieces the same length.
* Take off the protective paper off one and lay it on a flat surface.
* Lay your turkey cutouts on the contact paper.
* Grab your tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
* Now have your child place it on the contact paper, to make a beautiful design.
* Once done, grab the other piece of contact paper and remove it’s protective sheet.
* Then lay it on top of the other piece and press firmly. Make sure every corner is stuck together.
* To finish off the stained glass turkey craft, use your scissors to trim around each piece.
* Then display proudly on a window with some tape!
* Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your colorful turkeys! #gluedtomycrafts
