Thanksgiving is almost here, which means you may be surrounded by family and friends in your home. You can add some character to your house with reusable DIY holiday crafts. In this blog, we explain how to make Thanksgiving themed magnets from everyday items. Turkey leaf magnets are fun, quick and easy to create. You can pick out the perfect pair of leaves to use right from your yard, and follow the steps below to make these magnets. Adapted from Almost Unschoolers

Supplies

Steps

  1. Glue the two leaves together. Make sure one is a little further down than the other.
  2. Cut a triangle out of the scrap construction paper and glue it to the leaves for a beak.
  3. Cut a small piece of tissue paper for the waddle and glue it next to the beak.
  4. Glue two googly eyes to the leaves.
  5. Glue the small magnet to the back of the leaves.
  6. Bend the ends of the stems to shape them like turkey feet.
The best part about this project is that each turkey is unique. Because of the limited amount of supplies required, families can have fun making lots of turkeys for every room in the house! Photo by Karl-Ludwig Poggemann
