Turkey Place Cards

To make these handsome place-card gobblers, download the templates
Martha Stewart Living, November 2007

To make these handsome place-card gobblers, download the templates; print and cut out. Trace templates onto colored card stock; cut out (use scallop scissors for the base), and snip a small triangle for the beak. Attach the head, body, wing, and beak with a glue stick. Cut 2 small slits in tail where indicated on the template. Secure ends of smooth yarn and textured yarn in 1 slit, and wrap entire tail with both yarns; secure ends in other slit, and cut yarn. Apply a small amount of craft glue directly onto yarn-wrapped tail, tracing the inner crescent; adhere body to tail piece. Inscribe guest's name on the base; attach tab on turkey body to base with double-sided tape.

    The football-shaped piece is the wing.

    So where is the little football-shaped piece supposed to go? Inquiring minds want to know.

    It's Thanksgiving 2011 and still no larger pics. Hum....I thought Martha would be on top of things. She probably doesn't even know about this issue.

    I'm with you! Link thumbnails to larger pictures. MS staff doesn't pay attention to our comments nor to our emails, sadly. I've written on several occasions about incomplete recipes, items with missing pictures (red x pizza boxes) all get no response, no reply, nor do the problems get fixed. :/ Sad that MS who is precise and particular would allow this to continue for years as it has. Shame on you staffers!

    Is there any reason why these pics can't be linked to larger versions? I mean, this is 2010, for godssake. And a good portion of us baby boomers are half blind. *lol*

    Or have I missed something?

    Very cute and classy! I made some turkeys with tissue paper that would work well as place cards too!

    Maybe you should copy the template from what ever program that comes up when you click template to Microsoft Word or Notebook or something and see if it will do it then...

    Maybe you should copy it and put it onto microsoft word or something and see how that does for you.

    This is adorable. I'm creating a file of activities to do with my nieces, as they are growing up and are old enough to do these things. Thank you and keep them coming.
