I fell in love with these crazy looking turkeys when I saw them on Pinterest. I had to make them.
Gobble! Gobble!
We took the entire family and Thanksgiving to Great-Grandma’s house last year. My assignment was to create something fun for the table. I picked these Turkey favors. My kids had a blast helping me twist a cute pipe cleaner.
Jenn at Clean and Scentsible has a great tutorial on how to twist your pipe cleaner. She found circle netting for her turkeys. I wasn’t so lucky. I used brown mess netting cut into 12″ squares. I also closed these little beauties with a regular garbage bag twisty tie (I wanted to be able to get at them quickly).
I filled my little gobblers with regular M&M’s, Peanut M&M’s, and Peanut Butter M&M’s, because that’s what I like, but really any candy would work.
My original plan was to fill them with Fall colored M&M’s, but I couldn’t find any the week of Thanksgiving. So, if you ever plan on making these stock up on Fall colored M&M’s at Halloween.
Enjoy!
