Well Hey!
It's about to be Thanksgiving time and I decided to post this cute, DIY project to create for you friends, children, or loved ones to show them how thankful you are for them! This idea surfaced from a Pinterest finding but I have provided my own twist to it, so below are my steps on how to make Tukey hands for Thanksgiving.
Before that, I would like to address the history of Thanksgiving in short and simple terms from christiananswers.net:
The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, on September 6, 1620. Their destination? The New World. Although filled with uncertainty and peril, it offered both civil and religious liberty.
This is very important in America's history. We built this country on freedom and "One Nation Under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
Now onto making these Turkeys!:
- Step 1: Gather Materials: box of clear gloves, two bags of pre-popped pocorn (or 1 large bag) of popcorn, regular size bag of colorful goldfish, jute or ribbon, and a marker (permanent).
- Step 2: Grab one glove at a time and tip over to fill, fingers facing the floor.
- Step 3: Fill first with goldfish to the ends of the fingers. They should be filled just enough to reach the palm section of the glove. Then fill the rest of the glove with popcorn.
- Step 4: Tie the open end of the glove with ribbon or jute(what I used).
- Step 5: Last, draw a turkey face on the thumb of the glove. This is optional and you can also do glue googly eyes and red paper along with a orange triangle for a beak if you would like to add to the Tukey's look.
The last picture are special bags that I made for those I specifically wanted to write a card to and tell them how thankful I am. Their popcorn was made, and I would also highly recommend you to put in a plastic bag and then put in the brown paper bag, due to the butter! If you need the printable I can make another if I don't already have the original saved.
Happy Thanksgiving! Share with someone how Thankful you are for them!
