We are decorating the house for the Thanksgiving holiday by crafting these fun window displays. These stained glass window turkeys are fun for everyone to enjoy inside the house and those walking by outside!
Tutorial Below:
-
Brown paper
-
Red and orange paper
-
Glue
-
Scissors
-
Tissue paper in fall colors
Create your turkey’s body and feathers with your brown paper. (You can make them separate by cutting just a head and gluing brown feathers to the back of the head. But we wanted our turkey to be all one piece.) Fold your brown paper in half vertically and cut out a circle at the bottom for the body and 2 feather shapes. Open up your paper and you have a full turkey with 4 feathers.
Make a turkey head by cutting out a small brown paper circle. Add eyes, orange beak, and a red waddle.
Cut a small slit in the center of each feather, cutting the inside out, leaving a sort of oval shape for the inside of each feather.
Flip the turkey to the front side and tape it up to your front window. It’s ready to display!

Cut a small slit in the center of each feather, cutting the inside out, leaving a sort of oval shape for the inside of each feather.
Also, cut a small piece of tissue paper the size of the hole of the feather, just a little big bigger. Glue the tissue piece to the back of the feathers. Repeat this for all of the feathers.
