What you do

Body

Place newspaper down on work surface. Turn clay pot over and glue
wooden ball to bottom of pot. When glue is dry, use large paint brush to
paint entire the outside of the clay pot and the entire wooden ball with
brown paint. Let dry and apply a second coat. When dry, use large paint
brush to fleck on spots of tan paint for effect. This does not have to
be perfect! Using small paint brush, paint on feet and beak, use the
photo as a guide if needed.

Head

Use small paintbrush to paint on the gobbler in red. Dab large
paintbrush or stencil dotter in rose paint. Dab onto newspaper or paper
towel until all excess paint is removed. Gently dab onto "cheeks" of
turkey's face. With the black finetip marker, drawn on eyes and dot
nostrils onto beak. Spray entire surface with clear coat.
