Googly eyes

Glue (hot glue or another strong glue)

Scissors

Small clear hair elastics

Optional: clear treat bags or sandwich bags

Optional: if you want extra protection for the candy, use a clear bag to place the treats in and then place the tulle over the top.

To form the turkey head, simply cut a tan pipe cleaner in half (approximately 6”). Start at one end, and roll the pipe cleaner until about 2 inches are left at the end.
