Discover the secrets of transforming your feathered friend into a stealthy Construction Worker Turkey in Disguise! I show you how to use everyday items found both in your house and outdoors to disguise your turkey.
Last week, I shared 24+ Turkey In Disguise ideas. Today, I’m sharing the construction worker turkey in disguise we created. I don’t have a lot of step-by-step photo’s like I normally do; however, I do have the cut file for the Cricut plus all the items we used to create this construction worker turkey!
Table of contents
Supplies
- Turkey in Disguise Template
- Colored pencils
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut Design Space “Construction Worker” File
- Construction Paper
- Glue Stick
- Cotton Balls
- Hot Glue Gun + Glue
- Spray Adhesive
- Shovel
- Dirt
Directions
First, you’ll want to color your turkey. Since, my husband Jon, loves to color he colored the turkey plus the background using colored pencils.
I cut the main clothing items using construction paper on my Cricut Maker. I just used a basic glue stick to glue the clothes on to the turkey.
We used one cotton ball that we split in half and hot glued to the sky as clouds.
The last step was adding the dirt. My son loved doing this. Let’s face it–what kid doesn’t love digging in the dirt? I used Spray Adhesive on the bottom portion of the paper where the turkey was standing. I gave my son a small shovel and let him dig some dirt from a flower pot. Then he sprinkled the dirt on his turkey. I shook off the excess dirt and off to school his Construction Worker Turkey in Disguise went. He was so proud of his turkey and would point it out every time he would pass by it on the bulletin board hanging outside his classroom door.
Tips and Tricks
Crafting a construction-themed turkey in disguise sounds like a fun project. Here are three tips to help you out:
- Materials Matter – Use materials commonly associated with construction to create your turkey’s disguise. Consider items like small cardboard boxes, popsicle sticks, mini traffic cones, or even small toy construction tools. This will give your turkey an authentic construction look.
- Safety First – Play around with the idea of safety gear for your turkey disguise. You can create a miniature construction helmet using craft foam or paper, and add reflective tape for extra flair. Don’t forget to include a tiny construction vest or tool belt to complete the safety-conscious look.
- Creative Construction Signs – Incorporate construction signs to add a touch of authenticity to your turkey’s disguise. Craft small signs with phrases like “Turkey Crossing” or “Under Construction.” You can use colored paper, markers, or print out signs to glue onto your construction-themed elements.
Remember to have fun and let your creativity flow. I’d love to hear how your construction-themed turkey turns out!
