Here's my version of the Nugget Turkey's I've seen around:
I wanted a stand-up version - They'd make great place cards for Thanksgiving!
The scallop punches in the back hold up the 'rear end' & the toothpick legs hold up the front end.
Here's how you make them.
I used Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red & More Mustard card stock. The nugget is covered with Chocolate Chip prints dsp.
Punches: Scallop circle, 3/4" & 1 3/8" circles, Snowflake punch
Accessories: Chocolate Chip marker to color the tooth pick, Black marker, tooth pick, Nugget candy, Tombo mono-multi glue, sponge daubers
Here's how I did the legs. After punching out part of the snowflake for legs, I added Tombo glue & adhered broken, colored toothpicks onto the legs. The clear glob above it is a pop-up glue dot.
And here's the turkey's 'waddle'. Punch out a scallop circle, insert it back into the scallop punch just enough to punch out a 3 scallop 'waddle'. Credit for this goes to my husband, Andy - my brilliant punch-art assistant.
Wow, that is adorable - Andy needs a "high five" for such a great use of the scallop punch! TFS
