Cut four oval shapes from the card stock (2 from each color of paper), and then put some little fringes on the edges to make them look like feathers.  Many of mine were deformed – I had a hard time cutting these at first!  If you’re like me, just play around with it until you get a decent shape.Make adorable Thanksgiving Turkey Place Cards with wooden beads for your Thanksgiving table this year!
