Cardboard Yarn Wrapped Turkey Craft

Supplies needed:

Cardboard
Multi-color yarn in fall colors
Googly eyes, various sizes
Cardstock – orange and red
Scissors
Glue stick
Clear tape

Begin by cutting the pieces of cardboard.

You will need one larger half oval shape of cardboard along with a smaller circle shape that fits in the half oval shape.

Now cut notches around the half oval shape, about every 1 ½” apart.

Tape the end of yarn to the back of the cardboard.

Begin wrapping the yarn around the notches of the cardboard. Once finished, tape to the back.

But before the yarn gets too crowded, make the piece for the bobble. For this , cut a strip from the orange cardstock lengthwise. Cut that in half. Glue into an L shape.

And begin alternating folding the sides of the strip, then the other, until it’s all folded over. Glue to secure.

Glue the bobblehead piece towards the bottom of the cardboard half oval, tucked in the yarn.

Make the turkey head. For this, glue on two googly eyes. Also cut a square from the orange cardstock as well as a teardrop shape from the red cardstock.
