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

Thanksgiving Turkey Scrapbook Layout

Wendy Sue here! Every year, we try to take a quick family photo on Thanksgiving Day.  It’s a way to mark the years…and remember how grateful we are for a day to celebrate each other, and all of the blessings we have.  Ironically, every year, for at least the last 5 years, I’ve been assigned to create a “turkey” themed layout for various obligations.  So this yearly photo has been commemorated in our scrapbooks with some type of turkey each and every year.  It’s been fun coming up with new ways to add a little gobbler to my page!  Here’s the page I created with the “Harvest” collection to add to last year’s annual family “turkey day” photo.

Do you like my little turkey?  Let me show you how I made him.  Here are the supplies I used (in addition to patterned paper and adhesive, of course):

I cut some paper using the dies.  The label shapes are going to be the feathers.  After I cut them, I folded them in half and added them to the turkey body, which I created from the mason jar shape:

I forgot to take a photo, but after I added all of the feathers, I cut an additional jar and placed it on the back.  I guess you could say, I made a turkey sandwich. 😉

After this, I needed to give Mr. Turkey a face. I used these puffy stickers to make his beak and waddle.  Is that what it’s called?  A waddle?

Now he needs some eyes (enamel dots) and later I decided to give him a little bit of feather/hair (which is the top of the apple puffy sticker):

Finally, he needs some feet.  We’re going to borrow some from his buddy, Mr. Chicken:

And now he’s ready to be added to my layout!  He’d also be cute on a card.  Or even napkin rings or place cards!  The best part is, he’s easy enough to create that the kids can help!  But as for my Mr. Turkey, he’ll be living on this layout with our 2014 family turkey day picture…and won’t have to worry about being stuffed and baked!
