Standing Hand Turkey Tutorial & Template

These pretty, irresistible little gobblers

are here to make your Thanksgiving festive!

Let's get started with the

Standing 3D Hand Turkey Tutorial

and Template!

You'll use the template link at the end 

of this tutorial to cut two hand prints, 

one beak, and one tail.

{The fastest way to get a left and right hand:

fold your patterned paper in half

and use the template to cut once, 

resulting in two hands.}

Take the right and left hand prints.

On the wrong side of the paper

of one of the hands, run some glue 

ONLY on the thumb and index finger area. 

Stick the beak in there.

Then align your hand prints

and press to stick those parts together.

{The rest of the fingers and the heel 

of the hands will be loose so you can 

insert pretty patterned paper for the tail.}

Now take the tail and fold it in half

with the patterned side of the paper facing in,

as shown below.

Tuck the tail into the partially glued hands

and get all the fingers aligned.

Carefully lift the top hand layer and 

run some glue. I like starting with the heel

of the hand first, getting both sides

adhered, and then finish with the fingers.

Then fluff them out

and they'll stand up for you!

Trim the bottom flat again if you need to.
