That big smile on her face...PRICELESS
Trace your child's hands (or let them) on
a piece of paper and cut out them out to use as templates.
Following the directions on the Heat 'n Bond package, apply the Heat 'n Bond to all the fabric.
Using the templates, cut out the hands, the turkey's body, and it's beak. Arrange the hands on the shirt how you'd like them, and iron them down one by one. Place the turkey's body in the middle, Now iron down the turkey's body. Arrange the beak slightly over the wattle red ribbon and iron it down. Sew on layered buttons for eyes.
It should look like this before face and legs
