In the US, celebrating Thanksgiving at the end of November marks the beginning of the winter Holiday season. Many families gather to have a feast that includes a baked turkey.
The box, the tail, and the sleeve of this model are made with square pieces of paper and all the same size. In addition, we can make a tail from a dollar bill or other paper currency, which is a nice way to leave a tip for a restaurant server.

Tips and suggestions for making the Turkey Box
- Use one piece of paper for the box, one for the sleeve, and one (or two) for the tail. A good paper size to use when learning the model is 6 × 6-inch (15 × 15 cm)
- Ideally, thicker stock such as Tant or Canson should be used to make the box itself.
- The finished bird shows mainly one side of the paper with the reverse side color in the interior.
- The finished sleeve shows both sides of the paper.
