Curling Ribbon Turkey Puppets For Thanksgiving

While you “can” buy inexpensive craft supplies nearly anywhere these days, Dollar Tree is still one of my favorite spots to hit up and stock up on supplies for our tutorials!

After a recent trip to my local store and a surprisingly long time in the birthday/gift wrap aisle, I came home with a NEW Curling Ribbon Turkey Puppet idea to share with you all!

To recreate this DIY, you will need wood craft sticks, a little cardstock, a glue gun and some brightly colored orange & yellow pre-made curls. From there, you can pull together these turkey puppets with the help of your child in no time. Then use them as fun Thanksgiving themed decorations or as awesome pretend play pieces in the living room.

So don’t delay – gobble up our newest craft tutorial today! All the details can be found below and we hope you like it!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your finished curling ribbon turkey puppets on our Facebook page wall, so we can admire your hard work from a far! I can’t wait to see what color you choose for the “feathers.” #gluedtomycrafts
