It's Turkey Time

Hi all, 

Hey, hope you are all getting excited over the new Ribbon Club Assortment  - Colors of Autumn Assortment - it's super gorgeous!! The colors are so vivid and just great for all your fall projects. :D 

Well I want to share with you all a cute little turkey candle holder I created using these beautiful ribbons. I created one of these about 2 years ago or so but it was different. I used the same concept for the front of the turkey but used the rosette technique with the ribbons instead of using feather. I think he turned out cute. 

So here is my little Turkey guy, hope you all like it. I know it's a bit different than the usual but I thought it would be a nice change. :D 

To create the back of the turkey I cut out 3 1/2 , 3, 2 1/2 inch circles. 

I used score tape around the circles and then got my ribbons and

started the rosette only going around half way. I then used 3D adhesive 

to stack the rosettes on top of one another, in a layered look. I used my little 

scallop punch for the front of the turkey's body. I hot glued him to the small

mason jar. I used googly eyes and cut a beak and did a snood. 

I wanted to show y'all another close up of the turkey and the ribbons.

Here are the Ribbons I used 5/8"Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Turftan Brown; 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green; 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine to create the rosettes for the Turkey's feathers. I also used the cute 

3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine for his bow tie. 

 Here shows a close up side view of the ribbons layered. 

I used the 1.5 inch Brown Netting to decorate the mason jar

which I wrapped around the  mason jar and then wrapped the 

3/8"Autumn Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain ribbon wrapped that on top. 

I used hot glue to adhere both ribbons to the mason jar.

Today is my last post for the month and I wanted to finish with a simple card that I did with the August Ribbon Club Assortment for August and some Doodlebug papers and stickers that I had.  

For my card I used lots of rich browns and oranges and mixed in a little bit of ivory to balance it out and make the sticker pop.  The plaid ribbon is in the assortment pack and the neat tangled looking ribbon is called Netting Trim and comes in lots of fun colors. It was really quick and easy and is a great card to have on hand for friends that get a new house or just welcome to mine :)

In case you need to see this fabulous assortment for the month here it is again.

Have a great crafty week and thanks for stopping by.....Teresa
