Thankgiving Turkey Nuggets

I have been working off and on on these little gems for the Wellness Center!  I saw a lot of them on Pinterest using different methods.  Some didn't have a wattle, but I think they look better with it.  I think they turned it so cute!

The first thing I did was cut some DSP 1" x 3" and cover the chocolate nuggets.  Then I chose my colors for their feathers and punched them out with my scallop punch.

For the scallop closest to the nugget, I scored them and cut off 5 scallops.  Then I would adhere that scallop to the next scallop leaving 4 scallops showing and trim them off.  Then I would position them on the third scallop and trim off any excess showing.

  I made these in steps as I made 50 of them.

After all the scallops were made, I used my 1" circle punch to make the head.  The last time I went to Michael's to get some glue dots, I purchased some micro min glue dots by accident.  These came in handy as I put the tiny googly eyes on them which made it a lot easier to place them on the faces.

The next step was to make their tiny beaks.  I cute out 1/2" squares and scored them from end to end and then folded them in half.

I used the same method of adhering them by using the glue dots.

For the wattle, I used my punch putting one of the top showing three petals and one on the bottom showing only 2 petals.

I then adhered the scallops to one end of the nuggets with a larger glue dot and the same for the face.

Aren't they cute - I love them!!  Here is one of the trays I used for the Wellness Center.

I saved some for my Thanksgiving table as well,  I'm sure the kids will love them!  Well, everyone here at the Pansy Patch hopes everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I entered these little gems at the Love To Craft Challenge - Anything Goes Challenge #28.
