Thanksgiving Turkey for the Door

You know how I love to decorate our door for the holidays, right?  Well, that's not a "new" thing around here.  In November 2006, there was a craft in the now-defunct Nick Jr. Family magazine. It was a turkey made from acrylic paint, craft felt, craft feathers, chenille stems and a straw hat.  We made one that year and still have it.  He needs some feather replacement (feather "plugs"?) but he's still adorable.  Here is a photo of two very little, sweet girls showing him off:

There are directions all over the web for making a turkey from a straw hat. It was a breeze and my girls are still very proud of this gobbler when he hangs on our door from November 1 until Thanksgiving night.
