Turkey Napkin Fold

Fun little turkey for the tabletop!

First I set the table with all the trappings, candles, silverware, harvest plates, leaf placemats, table cloth, and glasses with a leaf pattern.

Then I took a standard size cloth napkin, folded it in half to make a rectangle.

Folded it width-wise accordion style.

And pressed it so that the creases would look sharp.

Then I took regular cardboard from a box, cut a peanut shape, pealed back the paper on one side so the corrugation showed, added eyes with a sharpie, a yellow beak and ribbon to form a Turkey body. I then hot glued the turkey to a napkin ring.

To make the tail, I placed the napkin in the ring like so:

Flared out the bottom, stood it up and spread the top some.

Happy holidays!
