• Googly Eyes
• Ribbon
• Name Tags
• Glue
• Marker/Pen

Directions 

1. Take your pipe cleaners and cut them in half. Depending on the amount of people you are going to have, you will need a ratio of two gold, to every one red pipe cleaner.
2. Take your half pieces of red pipe cleaners, and fold them in half.
3. Continue with your red folded pipe cleaners and bend an inch of the folded end to make the mouth of the turkey.
4. Take your half pieces of gold pipe cleaners, and make a zig-zag "M" with one end of each of the gold pipe cleaners.
5. Continue with your gold pipe cleaners and shape the M's into a closed heart shape to make the feet of the turkey.
6. Bend the balance of the gold pipe cleaner up to make the legs of the turkey. Set the pipe cleaners aside.
7. Take a piece of your cut tulle and place a handful of Reese's Pieces in the center of the netting.
8. Bundle up your Reese's and tie it up with a piece of ribbon. Make sure you leave enough room so you are able to tie a bow.
9. Take your gold pipe cleaner feet and wrap the ends around the tie.
10. Double tie your ribbon around the gold pipe cleaner so it is secure.
11. Take your turkey mouth and wrap the tips to the same end that you wrapped your gold pieces to.
12. Glue your eyes to the face of the turkey and take your name tag and thread it through your ribbon and make a bow.
