cut the handle end of the paint so that it now measures 4.5" long. paint the block and head piece brown

once they are sand down all the edges. a power sander works great here! if not

start by tying a ribbon around the neck of your turkey

then blush his cheeks. i used a q-tip and ink

dip one end of the q-tip into the ink and then rub it on in circles. turn the q-tip over to the clean end and go over the circles again to lighten and blend in the ink a bit

using your scrap pieces of and cardstock

add a highlight across the beak and dot the cheeks
