Directions:
Step 1
Download and print out the turkey hat template, then trace them on the cardstock and cut them out. Loop the two headband pieces, then secure them in place using a stapler, and set them aside. 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.

Fold the turkey legs into an accordion, and then glue the feet or the turkey on each end of the legs.
