Turkey Bow Headband Tutorial

 

Hi Everyone! I just thought I would share this quick and easy Turkey Bow tutorial.  I think even with stopping to take pictures it took me about 20 minutes to make. 

 

Supplies:

 

Tape Measure/Ruler

Glue Gun

Yellow, Orange and Brown (Brown is optional) Ribbon

Googly Eyes

Clip

Headband

Brown Button

Scissors 

Piece of felt

 

See picture below

 

 

Cut 3 orange ribbons and 2 yellow ribbons to 5 inches each and heat seal the ends

 

 

 

Then take a piece of orange ribbon and cut it into a triangle for the bird's beak.  So you'll have these pieces of ribbon:

 

 

Take each of the 5 ribbons and glue them into a loop as you see below:

 

 

 

Then glue the eyes and beak to the front of the brown button and set aside to dry:

 

 

 

Go back to your 5 ribbons and alternating orange then yellow glue them together at the tips at an angle to create his feathers as you'll see in the pictures below.

 

 

 

 

When you are done it will look like this:

 

 

 

Put glue on the back of the button and press the button down onto the middle where the feathers all meet:

 

 

 

Now your turkey is finished!  Here is what you will need to continue putting it on the clip.  Cut out 2 squares of felt.

 

 

Glue one piece of felt to the back of the turkey bow:

 

 

Glue the second piece to the inside top of the bow as you can see below:

 

 

Then glue the two pieces of felt together so that the clip is now attached to the bow.

 

 

 

Then just slide the clip onto your headband and you can use it as a headband or as a clip in your little girl's hair.  If you have any questions let me know!
