I saw a cute rustic Thanksgiving wall hanging using long rectangular sticks for turkey feathers.....and couldn't resist making the design into cookies.
Cutters used include a hexagon cutter, SweetSugarBelle's snowman cutter found in ShapeShifters set, and a long thin rectangle cutter (1"x5.5"). You'll need at least 8 "feather" sticks for the platter.
Outline and flood the hexagon cookies with brown glaze.
Outline and flood the snowman cookie creating a turkey head and neck with brown glaze (see photo and video).
Outline and flood the rectangular sticks in various colors to represent the turkey's feathers.
After the hexagon has dried for approximately 2 hours, use the scalloped edger from SweetSugarBelle's Shapeshifter's set to create rows of feather marks down the cookie as seen in the photo and video.
Add white eyes (with brown dots added in middle) and a gold beak to the turkey's face. (see photo and video)
After the turkey head has dried overnight, add eyebrow and beak lines using a black foodcolor marker, and a red "gobbler" using red glaze. (see photo and video)
Assemble the pieces as shown on a platter to display the turkey in all his cute-ness. :)
