Turkey from Deco Exchange Turkey KitSOLD OUT (but you can use a plush from another store)
Instructions
With the wire wreath holding 18 ties in total, use three curls per twist tie. Cut twelve 10” strips of the Poly Burlap Mesh, Orange Mesh and Yellow Mesh. Next, cut three more curls of Yellow Mesh.
Cut fifteen 10” strips of the 21” Poly Deco Mesh.Take a strip of 21” Poly Deco Mesh and fold each of them in half. Starting at the finished edges, roll the mesh inwardly until it’s rolled up into a curl. Repeat this step two more times until you have three curls.Take the three curls and add them to one of the twist ties on the top ring of the wreath, making sure they are tied in the middle of the curls.
Next, take three of the yellow 10” strips and curl each of them. Add the three curls to a twist tie next to the curls just placed in Step 3.
Repeat Steps 2 and 4 creating sets of 3 curls of the same color. Add the sets of curls to each twist tie until they are all full. If you have some bare spots, cut some extra strips and add them to those spots.
Using the EZ Bow Maker, lay a zip tie vertically and take 2 pipe cleaners that have been tied together and lay it horizontally.
Take the 4” Blue Ribbon and make 8” loops, leaving a 10” tail. Next, take the 2” Orange, Black, and White Plaid Ribbon and make two 7” loops with a 10” tail, leaving them stacked on top of the blue loops. Use the 2 ½” Orange and Black Ribbon and make three 6 ½” loops. Use the 1 ½” Orange and Black, Black and White, and Blue Ribbon to make three 6” loops.
Start closing the zip tie in increments as you work to fluff out the ribbon, starting from the bottom and working your way to the top. Once the zip tie is snug against the ribbon, cut off the excess of the zip tie. Cut a small piece of color ribbon and fold it thin to tie around the middle to keep the zip tie out of sight.
If you have the turkey from the DecoExchange Turkey Kit, place the head of the turkey where you would like it to go at the top and tie the wires on the back to the wreath behind the curls. Repeat this step at the bottom with the turkey legs.
Next, place the bow in the middle and attach the two pipe cleaners to the frame.
