Go raid your collection of toilet paper tubes and get to work on this adorable toilet paper roll turkey. Recycled crafts are always a hit, and I love re-using items before they head to the recycling bin. Add some craft feathers and a cute face, and your have an adorable DIY Thanksgiving decor. 

They would make a great addition to a Thanksgiving kids’ table, don’t forget to print out our Thanksgiving kids’ placemats and the Thanksgiving treat Bingo game!

 

This toilet paper roll turkey only has a few simple materials, and would make the perfect table decoration for your Thanksgiving Day feast!

 

To Make your Toilet Paper Roll Turkey

I love a good up cycled craft. We do not throw away toilet paper rolls in our house. Alright, occasionally I purge…but I can guarantee you we almost always have some laying around, begging to be painted or glued. We have quite a few turkey crafts on this site, including this turkey leaf craft, but this is a great recycled turkey for the Thanksgiving table.

What you need:

    • toilet paper or paper towel roll
    • red and orange construction paper
    • googly eyes
    • craft feathers
    • glue

What to do:

  1. Glue craft feathers to the back of the cardboard roll.
  2. Cut out a beak shape and wattle from the construction paper and glue to the front of the roll along with the eyeballs.

 I LOVE that the finished product looks like a wonderful project completed by a child.
 
 
Now, for my new favorite TP roll crafting tip…you ready for this?
 
We used clothespins to hold the roll down to the plate so that it didn’t roll around on us while gluing the feathers. I’m sure it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it drives me crazy when they roll all over the place, making it difficult for little hands to create.

What a simple Thanksgiving craft right? This was incredibly easy to make and they came out pretty cute, and are quite festive!
