You can make this easy pumpkin turkey centerpiece for your Thanksgiving dinner kid’s table.
You’ll need
pumpkin
styrofoam ball
yellow & red tissue paper
twist tie or string
straight pins, tape & toothpicks
paper for turkey feathers
Cut enough yellow tissue paper to wrap around the styrofoam ball and still have enough to spread over the top of the pumpkin as shown in the photo. Secure with a twist tie. Use straight pins to secure to the pumpkin. Add a small piece of red tissue for the wattle and secure with straight pin. Make eyes and beak from scrap paper or use a marker. Cut as many feathers as you have grandchildren and write a name on each. Tape a toothpick to the back of the feather so it’s easy to stick into the pumpkin. There are so many variations to this craft so use whatever items you have available and create your own Thanksgiving pumpkin centerpiece.
I was in the supermarket the other day and heard a clerk asking another worker, “How do you make those little turkeys out of the mini pumpkins?” I think they had lots of mini pumpkins left and were looking for a way to get people to buy them. I told them, “Look on the Internet.” I should have said, “Go to Grandma Lizzie’s House!”
There are a lot of things that you can do with pumpkins.
