Halloween is behind us and the Monster Wreath is safely tucked away for next year.
Now, I know some people are eager to start busting out the Christmas decorations, but I. WILL. NOT. We respect the turkeyaround here! And so, in honor of my friend the turkey, I have another super simple tulle wreath tutorial for you.
Meet Thom. With a silent h because of course, why not?
Here’s what you’ll need to make him:
2 small styrofoam balls (about the size of ping-pong balls)
1 small styrofoam cone
3 toothpicks
1 styrofoam wreath
50-75 yards of tulle on a spool (or you can buy tulle on the yard and cut it to size) in a few different colors- like red, orange, and yellow
brown yarn
1 sheet of red craft foam
black & yellow acrylic paint and paintbrushes
glue gun
First, paint the pupils on the eyeballs and paint the cone (beak). Set them to dry. I did this by sticking them in a spare styrofoam wreath I had, using toothpicks.
Wrap 1/3 of the wreath in brown yarn. This is not hard at all, but it’s tedious. Just wrap around and around, keeping the yarn tight so none of the wreath shows through. Tie the yarn off and cut off the excess when you’re done.
Next, cut your tulle. You can refer back to my Monster Wreath tutorial for more directions on how to do that.
For Thom’s “feathers” I tied 5 pieces of each color, and alternated the 3 colors all the way around the remaining 2/3 of the wreath.
Insert toothpicks into each eye and the beak and insert them into the wreath, in the middle of the brown yarn. If you haven’t figured this out by now, the yarn is the turkey’s body.
Finally, fold a piece of red craft foam in half and cut out the waddle, making sure to make it skinny at the top (where the fold is).
You’ll drape the waddle over the beak and secure it with hot glue.
That’s it! Isn’t he a charmer? Don’t you want to have him over for dinner sometime?
Can’t wait to see all your variations!
If you’re having trouble finding tulle on a spool near you (my Hobby Lobby has TONS in lots of colors), check out tulle on a spool from Amazon!
Here I am, showing off how to make Thom on Texas Living!

That’s not cute at all.
#sarcasmfont
Fuck. Now I know what I’m doing this weekend.
So cute and creative!
I’m so making this! I made the Tulle Monster Wreath and so many people complimented it. All the teenage girls who trick or treated at our house last night said it was so cute. So you know if teenage girls like it, it must rock!
look at you and your crafty pants. adorable.
Love it!
i love tulle. this is very cute!
Absolutely adorable!!!! I love Thom! TFS
Love it! Thank you for the tut!
LOVE THIS!! Especially because November is my fave time of year and it always gets over looked by Halloween and Christmas. I really want to do this but need to convince hubby that I’ll actually finish this project if I start it. Ehhhh maybe I’ll still do it.
I LOVE IT!! Great job!
Oh my goodness this is adorable! I hope to get it done this year but if not, for sure next. I have wanted a Thanksgiving wreath!
Adorable! Pinning.
How much tulle do you think you would need of each color if buying by the yard?
Maybe 1.5 yards of each if by the yard.
I got two yards of each of the thee colors that I used and had some left, so 1.5 would definitely work! Love the finished, product…thanks for the great idea!!
Imma need two of these.
Love this. Totally need a Thom for our door!
Looks so cute & not hard to make. I’ll try it!
How long were the strips of tulle?
made my version of Thom this weekend! So cute! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this!! I made this little guy over the weekend and it turned out great! Shared the directions (and a link to your blog) on my site today. What are you going to come up with for Christmas?? Can’t wait to see it! Best, Kim (thebedrestbookclub.com)
My daughter and I made this adorable wreath this morning. It’s the first project I have ever done off of Pinterest. Thank you!
How big was your wreath frame?
I think it was 12 inches?? Or 14?
My 6 year old and I did this project today. WHAT FUN! Thank you so much for the tutorial! Here’s a picture of our Thom the Turkey. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151126847265267&set=a.10151019655070267.426552.714265266&type=3&theater

Image this over the weekend and everyone loves it…even my 17 year old son! He said he is super cute! Tank you for sharing this with everyone :). Oh and tulle was super hard to find in these colors. I could only find the glitter tulle red, orange and yellow which made a huge mess, but it turned out gorgeous!
I apologize…it was to say I made this this weekend and thank you…phone is being crazy!
Here is my version…

I love the turkey,hes adorable but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I cut all my tulle 13″ and it will barely go around the wreath. Now I don’t know what to do with all this tulle.
because the instructor is a moron and doesnt know how to correctly measure lengths with a freakin ruler!!
Wow. Okay. Widths of wreaths will vary. All of this is variable. How about people just do what works for them? I gave an approximation. Cut a piece, try to tie it, see if that works for you. If not? CUT A BIGGER PIECE.
I was wondering how long and wide should the tulle be?
[…] / Scrabble Thanksgiving Wreath / Placemat Wreath / Paper Thanksgiving Wreath Give Thanks Wreath / Turkey Tulle Wreath / Yarn & Felt Flower Wreath / Paper Cone […]
I did it; a bit different but I still like it.
After you cut the tulle, how long were the strips?
?
About 12-15″ each. After they were completely cut, not before they were cut in half. Since wreaths can vary in size, try to cut a piece and tie it on. See how you like it, then use that as your guide.
What size wreath did you use for Thom?
Yes, I would love to know the wreath size. Thanks!!!

Ok so why do you post these “crafts” if you cannot even type in the write directions on how to make the damn thing!!!??!!! I..being the stupid one actually thought you knew what u were doing so i bought everything you needed to make one of these god awful things…and.. hey guess what?… the “instructor” on how to make the damn things doesnt even know how to measure lengths! Seriously take this little craft site down before you screw someone else’s day over…oh and their wallet…Heres a tip….why don’t you double check your directions you post online!!!!!! before posting it!!! you learn that in 2nd grade!!!! check your work before you turn it in…. dunce!!!
It’s funny you are calling her dumb and you can’t spell!! You can type in the “write” directions *right
Trishna, calm down. I have never made a craft and not tweaked it a bit. I have no idea what size your wreath was. It’s not a hard thing to adjust. I gave you the basic concept. All you have to do is take the supplies you have and make some adjustments. Bye!

Thank you so much- I am excited to make this.

I’m going to start a serious blog that will eventually hold a great deal of content. I am a graphic designer, and my husband does my web programming, so this is for reals (haha, yes I just said that). That being said, I’ve already started collecting my content and writing entries, but just how much content should a brand new blog have when you “unveil” it to the world (ideally)?. . Thanks :).

This is so cute. I’m going to make this with my 11 year old granddaughter this weekend. She loves doing crafts. Can’t wait to show her this.
What’s the total cost??? And can you do a Christmas one now? For Christmas exchange
is there a full size patter anyone has of the snood they would share
Love this! Friend shared this on facebook last night, and while I see that it is an older craft, I am hoping that you are still responding. I have found where the different amounts of tulle (for bolt or spool), I have found where you advise 12-15″ long, but I can’t find anywhere where you say how wide you have made the strips of tulle. Please advise, I would really like to do this as a gift for our hostess this year. Thank you!
Heading out to pick up everything I need for it. Gonna start working on it tonight while watching some old movies.
Made this today. I had all the items that I need already in my supply boxes.
Next one do a Rudolph or a Santa
Hope it comes out as pretty as yours. Thanks for the tutorial
