This creative time of year calls for an awesome DIY! So join me as I share how I turned large brown pom poms into TURKEY friends within minutes, with today’s easy kid craft tutorial!

It’s a breeze to make these Pom Pom Turkey Friends come to life! I found my particular large pom poms at Hobby Lobby but I have seen them at Michaels and I even linked to an Amazon product below, as well.

I highly suggest this craft for older children since these pieces do need a glue gun for the adhesive BUT I still think, even with the older age, it’s still super fun to make! Plus they double as pretend play pieces and/or festive decor on your Thanksgiving table!

So gobble it up, my friends! The full and super EASY tutorial can be found below! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Pom Pom Turkey Friends Craft Supplies:

• Large 2″ inch Brown Pom Poms {one per turkey – affiliate link}
• Hot Glue Gun
• Red Craft Felt
• Orange Craft Felt
• Craft Scissors
• Wiggle Eyes
• Craft Feathers

Directions:

• First things first – get the glue gun hot and ready!
• Keep in mind, ONE large pom pom makes ONE turkey friend.
• Now grab your craft felt and scissors. Cut out a triangular nose and waddle for the turkey.
• When done, go ahead and hot glue your craft felt pieces & wiggle eyes to the turkey.
• Finally – pick out three to five feathers for your turkey. Hot glue SEVERAL feathers to the back of your pom pom turkey piece.
• When done, set aside to let it dry completely. Then display proudly for ALL to see!
