Gobble Gobble Turkey

I have a wonderful aunt who is seriously amazing! Well she was so nice to give me some beads that she wasn't going to use. Cha Ching!!!!  I was trying to do a Thanksgiving craft and it came to me to use beads to make the turkey! So fun to do with the kids.

What you need:
heavy fabric
glue gun
some ribbon for cuteness
beads

This project is versatile. You wanna use big chunky beads go for it! You want to use a poster board, do it!
I'll tell you some tricks that I found as I was doing it to help you out to ; )



I first took my fabric and laid out my plan with colors and such. I ended up mixing the beads to give it a different effect.


I penciled my turkey and got to work with the gun spreading the beads over and pushing down a bit for the beads to stick to the glue better. I found if I didn't do that the beads fell off easier.


This is the middle of the action.^
Silly me forgot to do the head of the turkey! Good thing it was easy to take off and redo :)



And this is what you end up with! It was a little messy but such a fun and easy project! It took me 30 min.


Thankful #1 I am thankful for my family, My husband is amazing and works hard and bubba is the shine in my day!
What are you thankful for????
