Turkey Treat Bag

Cruising the web I saw a few photos of gift bags turned turkey.
I had to give it a try.

Isn't he cute?

I started with this bag template. I did leave my cut out a little taller than the template. I wanted plenty of extra to fold over. This template can be enlarged or reduced in size.
Fold along the dotted lines and glue together. Easy.

The boys always take a quick survey of what I'm doing. Then drag out their art supplies and get to work. This is what is around my feet.

A turkey?

My bag is ready to be turned into a turkey. I free handed a wing and feathers. I cut out 2 wings and four feathers. I scuffed up the edges of all my cut outs with my brown ink pad.

Cut a triangle for the beak and circles for the eyes. A dot of white paint to complete the eyes. Glue on then fold over the top of your bag.
He's looking turkey-ish now.

Glue on his wings and feathers.

Now that this one is complete I think next time I'll make the bag a solid color and the feathers out of a printed paper.

I also realize now that he's missing a wattle. That red ugly part that should be just under his beak. Oh well!

I think my little turkey turned out pretty cute. Especially since that is what I was going for. If I had to do more than a few though I think I would go with a pre-made bag. Brown paper sack, I'm thinking.

He's ready to be stuffed with a super turkey type surprise.

Here is the boy's version. He looks a little weary.
