How to make a turkey costume from a sweatshirt?

  • my daughter will be in the Thanskgiving play at her school, and she has to make a turkey from a sweatshirt, my question is how do I stick the feathers on the shirt?

  • Answer:

    you might consider stuffing different colored knee socks with crafters batting the sewing the open end of the socks onto the sweatshirt, They should stand up and be visable to the audience. Or get Real feathers from hobby-lobby or a craft store and use crafting glue to put them on the shirt.

I would make the individual feathers out of tag board. You can spray paint them the colors you will need. After you have painted, cut out and snipped the edges to look like feathers, lay them out in a fan shape.Hot glue them together where they overlap.Now hold the tail up to your child's back in the proper position. Mark a dot above and below each shoulder. At these marks attach a piece of elastic, allowing the loop to be large enough for her arm to slip through. Do the same for the other arm. Now she can slide her arms through the loops, and the tail should be in the right place. Attach a piece of Velcro to the bottom of the tail and to her "tail" to hold the bottom of the tail in place. If she needs the top waddle, you can use a baseball cap as the base and make it out of red felt. She should wear orange tights and a brown sweat shirt.

a low temperature glue gun or fabric glue will get the job done. With fabric glue you'll have ot let it cure for a few days before it can be worn whereas with the glue gun, once its cool it can be worn
