Turkey and Stuffing:

To start, take some salt dough and shape it into an oval.

019

Now make two small, drumstick-shaped pieces and stick them to the sides of the oval.021022023

Make two smaller ovals for the wings and stick them on. Bake the turkey on 350° Fahrenheit for an hour.024

Paint the turkey brown and coat it in Mod Podge. 034.JPG

To make the stuffing, tear off small pieces of salt dough and paint them with brown and green watercolors. If you don’t have watercolors, you can mix craft paint with Mod Podge. Bake the stuffing on 350° Fahrenheit for an hour. 033.JPG

To make the tray for the turkey and stuffing, cut a large piece of aluminum foil and fold it in half.002004

Place the turkey on the foil with about two inches on the side. Fold the side up and crinkle the top until it is the height you want.005006008

Cut off the excess foil with about two inches remaining.009

Now fold and crinkle the other side, just like you did the first time.010011

Now make two slits where you folded the sides. 012

Fold the foil between the slits.013

Tape the sides in.014

Do the same thing to the other side.015

Now add your stuffing.016

Mix Mod Podge with some brown and yellow paint.017

Paint this mixture over the turkey and stuffing.018

Add a final layer of Mod Podge. Now you have the meat and potatoes of the meal – the turkey and stuffing!019

Rolls:

Roll some small balls of salt dough and make Xs on them. Bake them on 350° Fahrenheit for an hour.

Pumpkin Pie:

Take a piece of aluminum foil and fold a lid around it the size you want your pie to be. I used a jam lid.

002003004

Cut the foil, leaving about an inch and a half more or less.005

Fold the foil over around the edge.006007

Take the lid out.008Take a circle of tan felt about an inch larger than your jar lid and glue it inside the aluminum foil. I didn’t have any felt when I made this, so I used tan foam, but I didn’t have much of that either, so I had to cut a circle for the bottom and then a ring for the top. It looks horrid, but I wasn’t prepared.😂

011012

Now fill your aluminum pan with brown, orange, and yellow puffy paint. Mix it together until you get a color that looks like pumpkin pie. Now you’re done!013014015

Sweet Potato Casserole:

To start, cut six pieces of orange craft foam the size you want your casserole to be. Glue or Mod Podge them together.

029Tear some cotton balls in half and glue them to the craft foam. These are your marshmallows. 030When the whole top is covered, fill again the cracks between the cotton balls with orange puffy paint.031Cover the whole casserole with Matte Mod Podge.032

When the Mod Podge dries, lightly brush light brown paint over the top of the cotton balls.001.JPG

For the dish, do the same thing you did for the turkey and stuffing: fold aluminum foil around the casserole and tape it in place.024025026027028029030

Cranberry Sauce:

To start, take a handful of Perler Beads and pour them into a cup. Add red, pink, and brown paint until you have a color that looks like cranberry sauce.020021

Pour the mixture into a jar lid. White works best. And you’re done!022

Green Beans:

For the green beans, cut small strips of green foam and Mod Podge them together in small clusters. Place them in a jar lid.

Mashed Potatoes:

To make the mashed potatoes, take about five or six cotton balls and Mod Podge them inside a jar lid. Add a little bit of yellow paint for butter.032033

I hope all of you have a happy Thanksgiving!!! Bye for now!!!!!
