November: the kick-off to all sorts of folks stopping by your house. Often unannounced. Does that ever happen to you?

So with these (un)expected guests stopping by for some holiday cheer, greet them with a Welcome, You Turkey …door wreath, that is.

The best thing about making this Thanksgiving turkey front door wreath, apart from being quite simple to make, is that you can get creative.

Use whatever color felt you like, arrange your leaves however you like, place your turkey anywhere you like. Let your inner turkey free!

Supplies:
– Foam wreath (I used an 16″ wreath size)

– Felt sheets
– Hot glue gun
– Straight pins (these will make this wreath come together quickly)


How to Make a Felt Turkey Wreath for Thanksgiving Decor

Wrap your foam wreath with ribbon.

If you have use more than one spool of ribbon, connect them at the back of the wreath where the adjoining pieces won’t be noticed with a straight pin.

Use your leaf template to create a variety of different-colored felt leaves.

For my wreath, I cut out a total of 42 different shaped leaves. 

Arrange your leaves on the wreath using either hot glue gun, fabric glue OR straight pins.
