Fearless Friday, Turkey Designs
It’s hard to believe that a week from today is November 1!
In the USA people are staring to think about Thanksgiving
Turkeys are the iconic symbol of Thanksgiving,
so today I’m sharing some turkey designs
that you can use to make place cards,
cards, and decorations for your table or home
This little turkey is easy to paint in just a few steps
After you paint the basic body with orange feathers,
add more feathers with red
Then add brown, a few black feathers, and paint his legs
Then give him a hat, a face and a red wattle
You can paint him on glasses, a pitcher, place cards, whatever you want
[Be sure to use curable paint for glass if painting on glass]
For the vase below,
I just painted his head and body on the vase
and then filled it with flowers for his “feathers”
I used an inexpensive glass vase
and painted a large brown circle for the turkey body
Then a pear shape for his neck and a oval shaped head
When the paint was dry he got a red wattle, eyes, beak, bird legs
And little feathers on his chest
You can also fill it with feathers or wheat
You can a paint a turkey on a wooden sign from the craft store
to hang on the wall or a door
Simple feathers with shapes of orange and yellow
A simple brown circle and pear shape for the body
and painted lines for legs and feet
A few swooshes for details and definition
A pilgrim hat and a wattle and this turkey is done!
It was just the right size to fit in the center of my fall wreath
It’s time to think turkey,
happy painting and…
Be Fearless!

Seems a little early for turkeys, the election is much closer than Thanksgiving and to many politics junkies, the most important holiday of all. Maybe you can paint some Kamala Harris and Donald Trump faces on some cups and glasses.
I saw egg nog in the market yesterday!
wow, the holidays are upon us!
These are darling! I love the sweet Turkeys you have shown us to make.
Thank you always for your creative inspiration!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Thanks Nancy, happy weekend!
I love all of these, Jenna! Before we turn around, Thanksgiving will be here. Happy Friday 🦃
Thank you Pam, I can’t believe October is almost over!
When I visit my daughter and her 9-year old triplets next week, I’m going to run to the craft store for supplies and have fun painting with them. Thanks for your inspiration, Jenna!
Oh that will be fun, I hope they enjoy it!
I’ve already kind of skipped over Halloween and put my turkey things out. I love Thanksgiving so this is the perfect project. I just love it and your good instructions! Gobble! Gobble!
Time is flying, I can’t believe it’s almost November!
LOVE the turkey wreath! Think it’s the chapeau that always makes the turkey fashionable. I believe there is a turkey on our family coat of arms–just funnin’!
Loving the fall weather here over in GA, but still praying for the folks in the Carolinas.
Ha ha! Yes, enjoy the pretty Fall weather, and I am praying for those who are suffering too~
They are so cool!
Thanks Angie 🙂
What a delightful post! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I love the idea of using turkey designs for place cards and decorations—it adds such a festive touch to the table! As I prepare for the holiday, I’m also thinking about how important it is to create a welcoming environment, not just at home but in our communities. Collaborating with local engineering firms in Salt Lake City, UT can help enhance our public spaces for everyone to enjoy during the season. Thanks for sharing these creative ideas!
I was in Hobby Lobby today and there were a few aisles of Thanksgiving, but at least 1/3 of the store was devoted to Christmas. Beautiful, fun stuff–but so early! Your turkeys are as cute as anything I saw there. I especially like the vase that uses the flowers as the turkey feathers!
Thank you Linda~ Hobby Lobby starts Christmas in July!
I love all of these projects, Jenna! I particularly like the wine glasses. I can totally see those as a part of my Thanksgiving table. Like you, I find it very hard to believe that in less than a week it will be November. It’s shocking, and a bit frightening, how quickly the time passes.
Thanks so much Pattie! Time is definitely flying 🙂
I’m with you, I can’t believe it is almost November and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Your ideas are so creative and you are so kind to share them.
I know, time is really flying! Thanks Karen, have a great week~
These are all so cute! I hope I’ll have time to do something like this with the kids by TG!
Thanks Jeanie, I hope you can too!
Adorable Gobblers Jenna! 🦃 I especially love your wood sign/wreath! It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is a month from today. 😲🧡
Thanks Mary, gobble gobble!
Oh these guys are all so cute Jenna! What fun to sip wine from gobble gobble glasses and I love how your little sign fits right inside your wreath! Happy Monday to you!
Thanks Kim, Gobble Gobble!
This is so cute! We are hosting Thanksgiving this year so I am looking for some ideas! Adding painted turkeys to the list! I also want to get my upholstery cleaned before everyone comes. So excited!
Thank you, have fun with the turkeys!
