turkey day necklace

Can you guys believe it is almost Thanksgiving? I really love this time of year and I am trying to get festive in any way I can. It is helping to bring me out of this funk. So I am focusing this month on being thankful and also anticipating Advent. Which is, of course a great season of hope and expectation for Christians.

In my attempt to get super festive I started digging through the craft supplies with no real ideas in mind. That is when I saw some small wooden hearts and it hit me! TURKEY NECKLACE. (dont laugh. you are a crafting freak who thinks like this too.)

Isnt she CUTE????

I didnt do a whole tutorial or anything but you get the idea. I just used some fine tip sharpies, ribbons, teeny tiny ric-rac, wooden hearts, a ball chain, and hot glue

I started by drawing a turkey face on the front of one of the hearts

They I just glued it all together. I didnt even bother with a bail. I just added a teeny loop of the ric-rac behind the feathers and put the chain through.

Look at my little turkey! Love her!

thanks printable

a new printable for you!! :)

click. print. enjoy!

I have noticed one of my favorite older printables has been getting A LOT A LOT A LOT of traffic lately. And I have a sneaky suspicion this is because it is  MOVEMBER!
