Turkey Button Cards

I always like to keep in touch with my family through letters. It may be old fashioned but there is something delightful about getting mail (that is not bills). I especially like sending cards to my grandparents. Always with little stories and a few pictures of what we are up to these days. So with Thanksgiving right around the corner I decided to make some cute turkey cards using my little mismatched button stash.

They are super easy and would make a cute holiday decoration. Here is how I made them:
-construction paper
-buttons
-wiggly eyes
-blank cards

I used the bottom of a hand soap container and a large button to make the turkey body.  

Then I free hand cut the beak, wings, and the gobble gobble (I don't know what that is really called). Next I glued all my pieces together to make the turkey.  

And finally I drew feather shapes with craft glue and glued the buttons in the shapes. Easy, fun, and a great way to get rid of all those little buttons you will never use.
