Use tape or glue to affix the letter feathers to the back of the brown-painted paper plate, spacing them out just a little bit.

We like to add additional feathers to the back and sides to fill out the turkey plumage a little more. Again, do as many feathers, in the colors YOU like, to personalize your turkey craft project.
