Can You Say, “Gobble Gobble”?

Nov 16th, 2007 by Marie

These are fun little party favors for each of your Thanksgiving guests. We used to make these when I was little. I loved making them before the dinner was ready because you got to eat a few treats along the way. The idea came from my oldest sister, Nanette. I remember siting at the kitchen table with her helping me put mine together. Thanks, Nan.

You need a 1/4 - 1/2 yard of brown netting fabric, the kind of fabric that tutu’s are made from. Cut a 6 inch square of the netting fabric, you can make about 15-20 favors in 1/2 yard of fabric. Then place a small candies in the center. We used M&M’s, you could use anything that is yummy and colorful. Then take up each side and hold it together at the top. Using a brown pipe cleaner, twist the netting bag closed. I then folded the pipe cleaner in half and twisted the other end to the bag as well. This will make for a more sturdy turkey head. Then cut a little wattle out of red paper and stick it through the head, or glue it if needed.

Now you have a cute little turkey to eat for dessert.

Marie,
Talked to Nan today and I told her you wanted to make these for Thanksgiving and she said “Did it!” She said she already has them made and boxed up to bring for T. dinner. Just Fyi.
