Instructions

Step 1:

First, you need to gather all the supplies and print out the PDF templates to make your turkey pop up card.

Use the templates to cut out the pieces to make the turkey.

Step 2:

Join the beak and wattle to the head using craft glue.

And, glue the wings to the body. 

Step 3:

Join the head to the body using glue.

Step 4:

First glue the small feathers on the back (yellow feathers) leave a little gap in between each feather.

Step 5:

Glue the rest of the feathers on the back of the turkey.

Allow the glue to dry.

Step 6:

Now glue the eyes on the top part of the face and then glue the feet on the bottom.

Fold it in half.

Use the “Card Template” to cut the slot on the pop-up card.

Step 9:

Press the slot/tab inwards of the card.

Step 10:

Open up your card and it should look like the image below

Step 11:

Then, glue the turkey onto the tab on the card

Step 12:

Use colourful craft papers to decorate the borders of the card. You can choose whatever colors you wish or perhaps you might want to add polka dots, zig zags or whatever else takes your fancy.

Will you send your card to a friend to wish them Happy Thanksgiving?! This is the message I put inside the card but of course you can change the greeting.

I love letting my kids write their own message because it is so personal to the receiver and secondly is a great opportunity for them to practice their writing skills and sentence building. 

You could even use this an invitation for Thanksgiving dinner! Why not make some DIY Thanksgiving napkin rings to decorate your table for your guests.

If you want a turkey card that is not pop up why not learn how to do an easy turkey drawing for the front of your card?!
