10 Craft Ideas to do With Turkey Feather Coloring Pages
Once your masterpieces are colored, don't let those beautiful turkey feathers go to waste! These easy and affordable crafts are perfect for putting them to good use.
1. Festive Feather Headdress
Cut out several of your vibrant turkey feathers. Take a strip of construction paper or poster board long enough to fit around a child's head and staple or glue the ends to form a band. Attach the cut-out feathers upright along the back of the band using glue or tape, creating a fun, celebratory headdress for playtime.
2. Thanksgiving Table Place Cards
Fold small pieces of cardstock in half to create standing place cards. Cut out individual colored turkey feathers and glue one or two to the front of each card, fanning them out slightly. Write each guest's name clearly, adding a festive, personalized touch to your holiday table.
3. Fanned Feather Centerpiece
Gather about 5-7 cut-out turkey feathers. Glue the bases of these feathers together onto the back of a small, sturdy strip of cardboard or a craft stick, fanning them out to create a vibrant display. Stand this “feather fan” upright in a small block of clay or a decorated jar for a charming tabletop centerpiece.
4. Wobbly Turkey Puppet
Cut out your colored feathers to form the turkey's tail. Glue these feathers to the back of a small paper plate (the turkey's body). Add a construction paper head, neck, and two feet to the plate. Finally, glue a craft stick to the back of the plate for a fun, handheld puppet.
5. Autumn Feather Garland
Carefully cut out a variety of your colored turkey feathers. Use a hole punch to make a small hole at the base of each feather. Thread a long piece of yarn or string through the holes, alternating with construction paper leaves or beads if desired, to create a beautiful and seasonal garland for your walls or mantel.
6. “Grateful Feather” Jar
Cut out individual colored turkey feathers. On the back of each feather, have family members or students write something they are thankful for. Place all the decorated feathers into a decorative jar or basket, creating a lovely display of gratitude throughout the autumn season.
7. Feather-Topped Pencil
Select your favorite colored turkey feather and carefully cut it out. Glue the base of the feather around the top end of a pencil using a strong craft glue. You can wrap a small piece of pipe cleaner or tape around the base for extra security, making writing more fun.
8. Turkey Feather Bookmark
Choose a particularly striking colored turkey feather and cut it out neatly. Glue the feather to a piece of sturdy cardstock that is slightly larger than the feather itself. Trim the cardstock to match the feather's shape, or leave a slight border. For durability, you can cover it with clear packing tape or laminate it.
9. Feather Mosaic Wall Art
On a large piece of poster board or construction paper, draw an outline of a turkey, a fall tree, or any autumn-themed shape. Cut your colored turkey feathers into smaller, varied pieces. Glue these feather pieces inside your drawn outline, overlapping them to create a textured and colorful mosaic artwork.
10. Flying Feather Mobile
Take two pipe cleaners or thin craft sticks and cross them, securing with glue or string to form a plus sign. Punch a small hole at the base of several cut-out turkey feathers. Tie different lengths of string or yarn to each feather, then tie the other ends to the arms of your cross. Hang your mobile from the ceiling for a gentle, fluttering decoration.
