DIY Turkey Decoration for Thanksgiving

Make this cute DIY Turkey decoration for your kitchen or dining room!

I cleaned out my utensil drawer recently and found a bunch of wooden spoons. Five is all you need for this easy craft. If your spoons are different lengths just cut the handles with a small hacksaw so the spoons sit in your jar at the height you want them to.

For this craft, I used a pickle jar. You could certainly use a mason jar, but I liked how the spoons (feathers) fanned out in this wide-mouth jar.

How to Make a Decorative Turkey Centerpiece

Paint the top of five wood spoons to look like paint feathers. I also added gold highlights to the edges. I used Plaid FolkArt Enamel Acrylics. They work well on glass and I also used them on the wood spoons to keep things simple.

Paint the inside of a wide-mouth glass jar with dark brown paint then paint a turkey body on the outside of the jar. Let dry completely.

Paint a turkey face and add crescent-shaped brush strokes to the body for feathers. To finish, hot glue decorations to your jar. Here I made a hat out of felt and covered the rim with twine.
