With all the colors of tissue paper, a lot of different looks can be achieved with this project. The tissue is torn and glued to the background that has been prepared by using colored chalk.

  • Turkey feet and beak (Pattern)
  • Turkey wattle (Pattern)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the background by swiping across the paper with the colored chalk. Use more than one color and blend by wiping with a Kleenex. Give a light spray of hairspray over the chalk to set it.
  2. Draw a circle in the bottom half of the background paper. Make a dot in the center.
  3. Tear a variety of colors of tissue paper into strips. Starting at the center of the drawn circle, squeeze some glue in the circle, spead it with the brush, lay a tissue strip on top and smooth the strip down with the brush.
