Stuff a disposable glove with popcorn, you can pop your own or buy it ready made. Can't tell you how much because it's always eaten during the crafting process :)
Use a rubber band to tightly close up the bottom.
Poke a hole in the glove and push the skewer into the hole.
Rip up pieces of tissue paper and glue feather like strips or balls onto all sides of the fingers and palm of the stuffed glove.
Glue on some googly eyes, which you can find in any craft store. Cut out and glue on a waddle, hat and beak.
You have a gorgeous Turkey Centerpiece!
Happy Crafting!
