Craft DIY Paper Turkey Treats for Festive Presents
As Thanksgiving approaches, one craft enthusiast is gearing up to spread holiday cheer with a creative project using their favourite tool – the Cricut Cutting Machine. With a large family of 46 members, not all will be able to gather this year, but that hasn't dampened the author's excitement to reunite with family for the special occasion.
To create a unique and festive touch, the author has designed 34 turkey treats. These adorable decorations serve as treat holders or embellishments, perfect for adding a touch of Thanksgiving spirit to any gathering.
To make the turkey treats, the author recommends using Cricut Design Space to design and cut Thanksgiving turkey shapes or patterns from materials like cardstock, vinyl, or felt. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Design or Download Turkey SVG Files: Use turkey-themed SVG cut files, which can be found free or purchased from craft sites. You can also create your own turkey design in Cricut Design Space or import free SVG files optimized for Cricut machines.
- Prepare Materials: Choose cardstock, patterned paper, vinyl, or felt compatible with your Cricut Explore or Maker. Cardstock is great for treat boxes or tags; vinyl works for stickers or decals.
- Cut and Assemble: Upload or create your design in Cricut Design Space, size it appropriately, and cut it on your chosen material using the Cricut Explore or Maker. Assemble cut pieces to form turkey shapes or treat holders that can hold candy or small snacks.
- Add Treats: Fill your turkey treat holders with candy, nuts, or other small Thanksgiving treats and add details like googly eyes, feathers, ribbons, or markers for decoration.
- Additional Ideas: Use paper plates or cardstock as bases to mount turkey cutouts or create wreaths holding treat bags, inspired by related paper plate wreath crafts. Felt sewing patterns for decorative felt turkeys can also inspire designs you cut with your Cricut and hand-sew or glue for a rustic look.
For a detailed, printable turkey treat tutorial, consider combining turkey SVG files with basic treat packaging ideas, experimenting with layers and colors to build festive Thanksgiving turkey treats for decoration or gifting.
The author's YouTube Channel offers a video tutorial for creating the Turkey Treats. To make the process even smoother, the author keeps MakerX Crafting Tools in the craft room, and the Fiskars Paper Trimmer is also on hand, making precise cuts without frayed edges.
The author plans to win favour with family by creating these delightful Turkey Treats, filling Sweet Treat Cups with Reese's Pieces. To get started on your own Thanksgiving crafting project, gather the following supplies: Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker, Cricut Design Space Canvas, Cricut Light Grip Mat, brown, orange, and yellow cardstock, wiggly eyes, plastic treat cups, and adhesive. Happy crafting!
