  7. Either make a bow with some ribbon (as pictured here) or use an existing bow you may have and tie it to the stem on the back of Tom to make a pretty but simple tail display.

  9. I chose to attach the 'Tom' front to the pumpkin with one thumbtack in the middle of the bow. Easy!
  10. Finished turkey
     
  11. I sat him in a bed of shreddings that I had from a gift basket.
  12. I think he looks pretty cute, don't you agree?
