zhinusmom,

Sorry! I really do not have any instructions on the turkey. I had to go from scratch on it as I had planned it for my little Craft Group last year.

You know--I see a picture of something----and then my brain says...."Hmmmmm--How can I make it?" Then I proceed to anguish over just what to use ans how to put it all together to make it look real.
I can tell you I used a large pine cone for the body and felt cut-outs for the wings and the tail--which were then covered in REAL feathers. Oh, it took a bit of imagination to visualize it all--but it turned our great!
Sorry--I cannot really provide you any instructions.

You are an awesome crafter---I am sure you can come up with something!

Here it is close up from last year when we made it. The head and neck where also a small pine cone painted off-white and a quad-folded pipe cleaner for the neck.
I had to really use my imagination doing this one......
