More tips for you

  1. Yes, there is some sewing in this project. However, you could try using a liquid stitch product instead.
  2. This project calls for a glue gun with glue sticks. You can optionally try using craft glue instead.
  3. These turkeys would be cute magnet for your refrigerator. Simply glue a craft magnet on the back (you may need more than one depending on the size of the magnet).

These Turkeys are great just the way they are.
However, there are ways to make yours even better.

You can try one of these ideas.

About this felt Turkey craft.

To make this project you will first need to download the pattern that I have provided below.
This pattern is a template that will help guide you with tracing cutting out the pieces of felt for the project.

To stuff the Turkey, you will need Poly-fil Stuffing.

You may have these stuffing already or an old pillow that is ready for a re-use idea.
However, if you try using another material, try to make it something that resembles a poly-stuffing as this will make it easier to stuff the turkey with.

How to make this felt turkey decoration.

Step One: prepare.
Assemble the materials.
Download the pattern template (below). I suggest that you print out it on a heavy card stock paper.
Cut out the pieces from the template then use the pieces to trace on the corresponding felt color before cutting out the pieces needed for your project.

Step Two: Make the feathers and the body.
The pieces on the template have corresponding letters to make it easier for you to follow the steps below.

  1. Start by sewing the tail (A) to the back of the body (B). Set this aside.
  2. For the front side of the feathers (the other piece B) Place the orange piece D’s in the correct places. TIP: you can tack these down with a very small amount of glue so they don’t move around on you. Sew each piece D into place.
  3. For the smallest feather, yellow piece C. Repeat the same process that you did in the last step. This will complete the frost feather piece.
  4. Place the back piece B you made earlier together, right sides out and start to sew
    them together along the outside. Tip:5. I recommend starting at one of the points marked with a square. Sew around the feathers and stop when you reach the other square.
  5. Stuff the body with the fluff and use a blunt ended tool to help push the stuffing into the feather areas that may be hard to reach. Then stuff the main part of the body last. Finish sewing around the entire section.

Step Three: Make the head and finish.

  1. Sew the eyes (F) onto one piece E.
  2. Next, sew the snood (G) in place and then sew the beak (H) on last.
  3. Begin sewing the two piece E’s together to form the head, stopping about ¾ of the way to insert more fluff.
  4. Finish sewing the turkey, glue the body to the head, and enjoy!
