Start painting your turkey!  Again, he will need several coats.  I spent more time on this project waiting for things to dry than I actually spent on the project!

Paint two wooden discs white and glue in place as eyes.  Once dry, add the details.

The final touches include, creating a “Who are you calling a Turkey ” sign and gluing colorful buttons on for extra color.  The sign was hand drawn, but you can always use stencils for this part.

I ran two pipe cleaners through the back of the rack as a loop to hang him with.

And there you have it!  A recycled rake turkey greeter!
