Repurposed Basket Turkey
13 November
I've been going through my stash of items that are ready for upcycling or repurposing. This basket was in the bin waiting patiently for its turn and finally, inspiration hit 😃
I have started making Christmas crafts, but I had to take a little detour for some Thanksgiving decor.
Repurposed Basket Turkey
I picked up this basket from Target's clearance section for $5. It's a strange little basket. I'm not sure what it was originally intended for since it doesn't have a flat bottom. I was planning to try to use a few of them for sconce lampshades but I could never find any more of them!
I found some vintage fabric with fall colors in my stash and thought it would be perfect for this project.

I cut out four tail feathers, two wings, two feet, and one head with pinking shears from the stiffened fabric.
