Pom-Pom Turkey Brooch

May? What? It is May already!!! Mother’s Day is just around the corner, I was in panic mode again because I had no idea what project to come out with. Fortunately, I was inspired by Micheal’s Mother’s Day Gift Idea, so I DIY this Turkey Brooch using store-bought pom-pom.

I always wanted to come out with something quick and easy to make for Mother’s day craft so that kids can make it for their moms too. My little pom-pom chick immediately came to my mind (remember I made a basket out of them?).

This time I am converting the chicks into turkeys (I make another 2 smaller white turkey chicks) by adding pipe cleaners tail and make them into a mommy-baby pom-pom turkey brooch, especially for this coming Mother’s Day celebration!!!

The craft supplies for this kid craft are easily available, you can get the pom-pom and chenille pipe cleaner from your local craft shops.

Now, I am done with the Mother’s Day craft, I better start thinking of Father’s Day. Getting into panic mode is not fun and I don’t want to trigger a heart attack and can’t even say bye-bye to you all… lol… just kidding!

Are you thinking what I am thinking after seeing the brooch? How about turning this pom-pom turkey brooch into Thanksgiving Card Placeholder in November?

Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day, remember, a better life needs good health!
