Get kids involved in decorating your Thanksgiving table with this adorable napkin ring made from a toilet paper roll.
Gather these supplies:
- Empty toilet paper roll
- Scrap of orange or bright yellow felt
- Googly eyes
- 5 chenille stems (pipe cleaners)—red, orange, yellow, green, purple—for the feathers
- 1 tan chenille stem for the face
- Double sided tape
- Liquid craft glue
How to make the turkey napkin ring:
- Measure and mark three equal divisions on the toilet roll.
- Cut the toilet roll at the marked divisions. One toilet roll makes three napkin rings.
- Apply a strip of double sided tape to one of the sections.
- Cut the colored pipe cleaners in half, then fold each half into a long loop. Each pipe cleaner makes two tail feathers.
- Attach the folded feather pipe cleaners to the double sided tape on the toilet roll.
- Coil the tan pipe cleaner into a tight spiral about 1½” in diameter for the turkey’s face.
- Glue the face in place on top of the pipe cleaner tail feathers.
- Cut a small triangle from the felt scrap. Then, glue the felt beak and googly eyes in place on the face. Note: If you don’t have a felt scrap, you can substitute a piece of cardstock or paper.
- Enjoy your fun turkey napkin ring for Turkey Day!!
