M&M TURKEYS
For each turkey, you will need 2 pieces of orange nylon net, about 10" square each;
1/2 of a brown pipe cleaner;
1 section of red chenille bump;
2 tiny wiggle eyes;
a piece of strong thread or thin string;
about 1/2 to 1 cup plain M&Ms,
a dab of glue.

Put the 2 pieces of net together, with the corners of one along the sides of the other, making 8 points. pour M&Ms in center, gather up the points, twist and tie securely. Coil the brown pipe cleaner, leaving about 2"; curve the 2" to form the neck. Tuck the red bump into the bottom of the coil to form the wattle. Glue a tiny eye on each side of the head. Shape the body - the M&Ms - so that the ends of the net become the tail and stick out the back. Insert the neck thru the net in the front.
