Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcake Favor Box

You may remember this guy from last year, but I think he is just too cute to forget, so here’s a review of the directions.

You will need:

1 cupcake favor box

1 Round Lollipop

2 cocktail size paper napkins (any fall color)

a small piece of ribbon or string

red & orange craft paper

2 wiggle eyes and glue

 

Directions:

1.  Fill cupcake box with a special treat for your guests.  Cranberry muffins, carrot-cake cupcakes, or a stack of  pumpkin shaped sugar cookies all make great after dinner or take-home desserts.

2.  Open a napkin one fold, so it is the shape of a rectangle.  Fold the rectangle back and forth accordian style to make a fan shape.  Using a small amount of glue ( I found hot glue works best because it sets up quickly), adhere the fan to back of the cupcake box – about 1/3 up from the bottom.

3. Cut a 5″ x 5″ square from the other napkin.  Wrap square around the lollipop (over existing wrapper) – securing with the ribbon or string.

4. Cut a diamond shape put of orange construction paper for the beak, and a waddle out of red construction paper.  Adhere both to the covered lollipop with glue.  Add the wiggle eyes, or draw on eyes with a marker.

5.  Slide lollipop stick into the slit formed by the tuck in the top front of the cupcake box and secure with glue.
