Begin to create the turkey disguise by gluing the snood below the eyes and slightly to one side of the middle. Then glue the beak on top of the snood base.

Place the inner ears in the outer ears and glue them in place.

Next, create the turkey feathers by gluing the middle one to the back and top of the turkey’s head. Fan out the rest of the feathers and glue them all the way around the turkey’s body.

Take the turkey’s feet and glue them to the base of the turkey’s body.

Finish up the unicorn disguise by gluing the horn to the top and middle of the turkey’s head.
