Lay pinecone on its side and drip some glue into the bottom layer, then insert foam leaves into the glue. Repeat this process for 2-4 layers, depending on the size of your pinecone (ours has three layers).

Put some glue close to the front of the pinecone, then stretch the brown bump chenille stem so that it is straight. Center it over the top of the pinecone and insert it into the glue so that "arms" are sticking out both sides. Bend the ends of the stem so that they look like wings.

Insert the tan bump chenille stem in front or in the same slot as the brown stem. Bend the end of the tan stem to look like a head. See photo.

You can stand this as is or if your pinecone is too wobbly, you may choose to hot glue it to a piece of cardboard for stability. You can also tie a string around the body and hang it from the ceiling.

For cute place cards, place a small piece of cardstock, with the person's name written or printed on them, between the foam feathers. Place one turkey at each place at the Thanksgiving table.
