Sissy Willis does.

Go see her wonderful preparations for a special Thanksgiving celebration. Sissy’s sub rosa group of bloggers will be breaking bread together.

I have turkey papercuttings in my windows at school but no turkey in the fridge. Gotta do something about that soon. Very soon. We are having a smaller celebration this year. Two very important members will be having their turkeys in a war zone. (both tell me the food in the mess halls is pretty good)

Yum. The Anchoress is stirring up a delicious dessert.

The turkey of the day.

Sissy Willis requested directions for the symmetrical turkey in the comments so I am going to attempt to provide them below.

Materials for Scherenschnitte Turkey:

Black or dark colored paper
White or light colored paper for background
(A finer craft paper, such as origami paper, will work better than construction paper for this craft. A roll of solid-colored heavy gift-wrapping paper would also work.

pencils
sharp scissors

Get a 9×12″ piece of paper. Fold in half. With a pencil, draw half of the turkey or copy the design below.

Cut along all the pencil lines. When cutting inside the paper simply fold the paper in order to insert the scissors inside. Be sure to keep the paper folded and cut on every pencil line. After cutting unfold the turkey to see your result.

The black turkey can be hung in a window or can be placed on a yellow or orange backing.

If cut out of 12″x18″ paper and laminated they can make cute placemats.
