Start by folding the letter sized cardstock in half. We used a green card, but you could use any Fall color.

Cut out long rectangle strips from the construction papers. Cut the red 4 inches wide, orange 3 inches wide, and yellow 2 inches wide. We cut along the long edge of the Letter sized papers. Start making equal-sized folds in an accordion-style along the long edge.

Make sure the folds line up correctly when placed on top of each other. Line them up by their width.

To make the turkey body, cut a 5-inch square out of brown paper. Fold in half and trace a design as shown in the pic above. Notice that the lower part of the bird has a diagonal cut that will be folded

    Your craft idea (pop-up thanksgiving card) was really cool. But all the ads made the site unusable. I couldn’t even do the craft. 🙁
