Turkey Blanket help needed

Submitted by Tina on 6/16/06 at 7:09 AM. ( ) 207.69.137.36

Not really sure if its called turkey blanket or not. They had the tail spread out and the back and neck feathers left on for a wall hanger. My question is, should i use Borax or tan on the back skin? And should felt be added to cover the skin side?

Thank You For Any Help

TURKEY BLANKET

I've done quite a few of these using borax. YOU can get as fancy as you want with the back. I use a thin piece of 1/8" plywood cut to the shape of the blanket and glue the hide to it and put a hanger on it.Hope this helps.
