This cute little yo yo turkey can be used as an ornament or even attached to elastic for a napkin ring.
Supplies:
- fabric
- circle templates (160mm and 220mm)
- felt (lt. brown, yellow, and red)
- embroidery floss (lt. brown, black, yellow, and red)
- thread
- sewing needle
- scissors
- hot glue gun
Steps:
- Create templates for the turkey body, beak, and waddle. Also create the circle templates.
- Stick the templates to the felt (using rolls of tape) and cut out two bodies, a beak, and a waddle.
- Create the eyes using French knots. Use coordinating embroidery floss to attach the beak to the turkey "front". Then attach the waddle.
- Fold the 1/4" ribbon pieces in half to create feet and pin them in place. Sandwich the ribbons between the turkey "back" and "front". Sew the bodies together using a backstitch.
- Trace the circle templates onto the fabric and cut them out. Make the two yo yos. Making Fabric Yo Yos Stack the smaller yo yo onto the large one and sew them together.
- Use hot glue to attach the body to the yo yo feathers. Press firmly and allow glue to dry.
- NOTE: To make napkin rings, attach a loop of elastic to the back to wrap around cloth napkins. To make an ornament, attach a loop of ribbon to the back to hang it from.
