Here's what you need to create Thanksgiving Votive Place Cards:

• Kunin™ Eco-Fi™ Classic Felt™ 9″ by 12″ Craft Cuts –  Walnut Brown (1); Golden Rod (1); Orange (1); Ruby (1); Olive (1); Kelly Green (1); Gold (1)
• Sizzix Big Shot Machine

Here's how to create DIY Felt Turkey Votive for Thanksgiving Decor:

STEP ONE

On a piece of plain paper draw a half circle for the Turkey tail, a large number 8 for the Turkey body, a small triangle for the Turkey beak and an upside-down letter “L” with a squiggle for Turkey waddle.  Cut out to create patterns. Trace and cut one Turkey tail and body from Walnut Brown felt, one Turkey beak from Golden Rod felt, and one Turkey waddle from Ruby felt.

STEP TWO

Die-cut two sets of leaves from each color of felt. Attach leaves in a random pattern around Turkey tail with Tacky Glue, let dry.  Continue attaching leaves until you are pleased with the fullness and color saturation.

STEP THREE

Attach waddle, beak, buttons, pearls, and bow to Turkey body, let dry.  Adhere Turkey's body and tail to Mason Jar with liquid glue and then let dry.

The final step is to insert a battery-operated votive and enjoy it!
