We love making fun little turkey crafts. This is especially true when the material we use is on the sparse side like paper. We love making things out of paper.
This little one is ready in no time. It can be made using plain print paper or construction paper. We proudly have ours on the shelves, but you can make a few or even make some cool DIY fall wreaths with thread on your head.
Need to take it to a whole new level?
Why not make a giant out of cardboard or other thick paper (poster paper) and display a giant turkey in your classroom or home? We are sure the kids will love being involved in projects like this.
Do you think it would be fun? Alright, let’s start making it!

Follow step-by-step instructions with pictures.
Cut a wide strip of brown paper.
Cut another strip that is thinner and slightly shorter than the first one.
Apply glue to one end of the strip.
Roll into a roll to allow the glue to harden.
Do the same for others.
When working with construction paper, the adhesive takes a little longer to set. I usually use clothespins to hold the paper in place while the glue dries.
Glue the two rolls together.
You just made a turkey body.
Place the body on the orange paper and trace it and also draw two turkey legs.
Cut the legs and bottom out of orange paper.
Apply glue to the base.
Press the turkey body onto the floor and wait for the glue to harden (or use clothespins).
Cut a small beak out of orange paper.
Glue to the turkey head.
Also attach two eyes to the head.
Place the turkey on the paper (I choose red first).
Draw a tail around the body.
Cut off the tail. Using zigzag pattern scissors (or something similar) you can get some cool effects.
Now put that tail on another piece of paper (next row is orange).
Draw a feather tail around the first one.
cut out
Glue the first bar to the second bar.
Now make something else (or more).
Glue them all together.
Apply a generous amount of glue to the center of the first tail.
Tap the turkey body.
Leave it together for a while to allow the glue to harden.
All done! Such a wonderful little turkey, you will not find!
We love us so much!

We do love making fun little turkey crafts, even more so if the materials we use are on the frugal side – like paper, we do love crafting with paper.
This little one will be done in no time, you can use regular print paper or construction paper to make it. We have ours standing proudly, on it’s own, on the shelf but you could also make a few and with some thread through their heads make a wonderful DIY fall garland.
Need to take it to a whole new level?
Why not make a giant one out of cardstock or other heavier paper (poster paper) and have a giant turkey craft sit in your classroom or in your home. We’re pretty sure the kids will love taking part in such a project.
Sounds fun right? OK let’s get crafting!

Cut a wide strip out of brown paper.
Cut another strip that is thinner and a bit shorter than the first one.
Apply glue on one end of the strip.
Roll it into a roll, let the glue set.
Do the same with the other.
If you are working with construction paper, the glue will take a while longer to set – we usually use clothespins to hold the paper in place while the glue dries.
Glue the two roles together, one on top of the other.
You just made the turkey body.
Place the body on a sheet of orange paper, trace around it and also draw two turkey legs.
Cut out the legs and base out of orange paper.
Apply glue on the base.
Press the turkey body on to the base and wait (or use a clothespin) for the glue to set.
Cut a little beak out of orange paper.
Glue it onto the turkey head.
Also stick two eyes on the head.
Place the turkey on top of a sheet of paper (we choose red to be the first one).
Draw a tail around the body.
Cut out the tail – you’ll achieve a nice little effect if you use zig zag (or similar) patterned scissors.
Now place that tail on top of another sheet of paper (next in line was orange).
Draw feathery tail around the first one.
Cut it out.
Glue the first ail on top of the second one.
Now make another (or even more)
Glue them all together.
Apply a generous amount of glue on the middle of the first tail.
Press on the turkey body.
Hold together for a while for the glue to set.
All done! Such a wonderful little turkey don’t you think!
