How to dress your turkey as a baby...

..or how to dress your baby as a turkey? Either way, if you haven't seen this little number--offered up by none other than Martha Stewart herself--it's something to see. It's actually a Halloween costume, but can you imagine inviting the family over for Thanksgiving dinner and having baby greet them on the table dressed like the main course? Okay, it's weird, but it is a funny visual.

If you're so inclined to do this to your wee one, you'll need:

Pins
Needle and thread
Cotton stuffing (acrylic or plastic bags also work)
One 6- to 8-inch piece of Velcro
Acrylic paint (light brown, darker brown, yellows, beige, and orange)
Lace trim
Sponge paintbrush
Old toothbrush
Hot-glue gun
Silk flowers
Fake vegetables
1/2 yard 1-inch-thick foam
1/2 yard pant weight fabric

For a blow-by-blow tut, head on over to Martha's joint.

Seriously. Ted to shrink in 25 years: Well, it all started when my mother dressed me up like a turkey one Thanksgiving....

So. Funny. Sides. Hurt.

And hey, we were saving up for therapy anyway...
