2. Legs: Cut the green paper. Adhere to the sign danglers. Fold the danglers accordion style as shown. The adhesive portions should be facing up. Remove the release paper before adhering to the bottom of the sign holder. Remove the release paper on the opposite end and adhere the shoes.
3. For the hat: Fold the 3" black circle in two. Form the 2-1/2" into a cone and adhere to the top of the 3" brim. Hair: Fold down the top edge of the orange oval (for the bangs). Cut a fringe into the oval for the effect of hair. Cut from each side. Adhere the head to the hair.
4. Finish: Everything will be adhered from the outside of the sign holder except for the 3" x 4" rectangle (body) that goes between the sign holder panels. Use the photo given for a visual guide.
Look below for some more ideas using the mini sign holders and sign danglers. You can do a lot with basic shapes: squares, circles, rectangles, teardrops, etc. The turkey tail feathers are die-cut maple leaves. Characters can be created for any event or holiday. Let your imagination be your guide!
