This Pinecone Turkey is fun to make with your children. Make several and use them as decorations on the buffet or as place card holders at the table.

You will need:

Pinecones

Googly Eyes

Black Felt

Yellow felt

Red felt

Various color pipe cleaners

Glue

Prepare the pinecone by lightly filing the sharp ends of the cone.

Cut a round circle in the black felt for a face. Glue it onto flat end of the pinecone.

Cut a triangle in the yellow felt for the beak. 

Cut a wattle out of the red felt. Glue the beak, wattle, and eyes to the face.

Bend 6-8 pipe cleaners into loops. Twist all together at the bottom to form the feathers/tails. Secure tail to the pinecone with glue.
