Stack multiple colors of cardstock together, then place the tail feather template on top, and trace or cut them out directly. Assemble the turkey tail feathers so that it looks like a fan, then staple them together at the bottom, and adhere the tail feathers on the inside of the turkey hat’s back using glue.
