Now comes the fun part! Assemble your turkey! I find it easiest to put it on a head (real or fake) and pin the pieces where I like them and then to sew them on. Once all the pieces are attached, work a simple sc border around the entire edge using all three strands of red, orange and yellow. If you like you could also attach a braid to the end of the earflaps.
