Last year I made these which were inspired by this and was overwhelmed by how much work they were. This year I had more than twice as many to make (for each of my daughters classes) so I decided to make a little piece of art to try to make things a little easier. I'm not sure if it turned out easier or not... But I do think they turned out super cute.
I first printed them out, folded them at the top then cut them. I actually dyed my toothpicks orange with foodcoloring, which I probably didn't need to do since most of the toothpick was in the cupcake or up in the turkey. I used Mod Podge to glue it together and the tp's in but I think some good dbl. sided tape would be much faster and easier!
Here is a FREE DOWNLOAD of these Allen Designs Turkey Toppers
available for just for YOU!
I'm already smelling the turkey cooking!

how fun it would be for you to thrift shop with me! my sister kept saying "you have the best shops!" so i think hers are like yours. we have such an interesting community that i think i makes for very "different" donations.
i have to decorate today just because it is such a mess in here. boxes everywhere!
