Paper Selection
I used a textured paper for the turkey. It really needs to be brown and a solid color. I made the veins on the feathers gold and the feathers themselves orange and red. You could use patterns or glitter paper for any of these part. You could even make all the feathers a different color. Use your imagination or have it match the colors on your table.
Cutting the Turkey Wrap Around Centerpiece
This is very easy to cut. Just watch the little pieces. I lost the buttons three times.
If you want to make the turkey wrap around longer to fit around something, first measure how long it needs to be. Then add about an inch for the overlap. The original is 9.5 inches long so subtract that from the total and divide that number in half. Now, in design space make a square 2.75 inches high and however long you calculated. Put one at each end of the wrap around piece (the ones with the wing cutouts) with a small overlap, align them to the bottom and weld. It should be long enough now.
I combined all the little pieces on one mat. To see how to do that watch my video.
