Turkey Hoop Decor

Hi Pebbles fans!  Amanda here today.  I so love November.  The weather finally gets to a chill, it’s my birthday month, and we get to have a Thanksgiving feast.  It seriously is my favorite month of the year.   I also love embroidery hoop decor.  Embroidery hoops are inexpensive and widely available which makes them perfect for seasonal decor.

This happy turkey hoop decor comes together in a snap and is super easy to make.  I love how the shape of the turkey feathers follow the line of the hoop.  This project is kid friendly, too (with a little help with the glue gun).

When creating a piece of embroidery hoop decor, sometimes I adhere the paper to the top of the hoop, sometimes I adhere it to the bottom of the hoop.   Since this turkey has a lot of dimension, I decided to adhere the paper to the back of the hoop.

I like to hide the embroidery hoop attachment with a pretty bow.  Burlap adds a soft, rustic touch to this Thanksgiving decor.

To create the turkey feathers, score and fold three 12″ strips of patterned paper into accordion fans.  These strips of paper are 3 1/4″, 2 3/4″, and 2 1/4″ wide.  Vary the width of the paper depending on the size of your hoop.  I used a 9″ embroidery hoop for this project.

Keep the three layers of your fan together by stapling the ends together with a mini stapler.  This will keep your fan layers from flying all over the place.

After you have stapled the ends of your fan together, put a huge blob of hot glue on a circle punch and place the end of the fan right in the middle.  Hold down the paper fan until the glue dries completely.

Two words: Slick. Writer.  This magical pen makes the turkey’s eyes possible.  Draw a black  spot on a white enamel dot and you have instant eyes.  Making a paper turkey is way easier than it seems.  Layer two brown circle punches (1 1/2″ and 1″), trim a beak and a wattle out of scrap paper, and adhere the eyes.  So easy.

Add a festive sentiment with Thickers, adhere the embroidery hoop to the paper and trim any excess with a craft knife.   Top with a cute bow. Friendly Turkey Day reminder!  If you are cooking a frozen turkey next week, now is a good time to put it in the fridge to thaw.  Only one week to go!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Amanda
