I wanted to make my own turkey decoy so today I did just that.
I went to Hobby Lobby and got a round Styrofoam ball and a heart shaped Styrofoam piece.
Cut the heart in half to make the neck head. Wired it to the ball and then used some leather string to make a beard.
Sprayed it with brown and black paint but left the shrink wrap on the Styrofoam ball because I wasn't sure if the
paint would ruin the foam. But the shrink wrap became loose when I sprayed the paint on it, but a little heat
from the heat gun and it was tight again.
Also got some black feathers from the store and pulled out a turkey fan from out of the freezer.
Also had two pieces of ss tubing that slipped inside each other for a post that it cam spine on.
When I get home tonight I will spray some red on the head and will be ready to go.
It looks shinier than it really is, must be the camera.
