Acorn Flower Box Centerpiece

If you are still looking for a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table, I love this acron flower box centerpiece I saw on House of Turquoise:

And I also love the turkey plates.  I think the images is actually on the bottom plates, but you could print out an image on cardstock and mod podge it to the bottom of the glass plates to get a similar look, or not mod podge it for a temporary look!

Thanksgiving Crafts

Party Frosting has a ton of cute turkey ideas for your Thanksgiving table, and her post reminded me of all the fun party ideas at Parents.com.

They have these cute felt turkey pops:

Using a plate or bowl, trace an 8-inch circle onto brown felt and cut it out. Fold the circle in half twice to find the center and snip a hole for the stick to go through. Stretch the felt around the sucker, securing it with a rubber band. Fluff and fan out the excess felt, then add crafts foam face pieces and googly eyes to complete the face.

This fun faux pinecone made from an egg carton:

ake an empty cardboard egg carton and cut the carton into 12 individual cups (an adult should do this step). Cut a "V" slit into each side of the cup using the "V" that is already part of the cup as a guide, and gently spread out the pieces like petals of a flower. Paint all the pieces brown, then layer and glue the pieces together. Wrap a rubber band around the bottom of the top piece to keep it closed, then insert a card between the "petals."

And this yarn cornucopia:

First make a mold by covering a 6-inch plastic foam cone with aluminum foil, crumpling excess foil at the tip to make a curved end. Then dip a 3-foot length of brown yarn into a bowl of white glue, removing excess glue between your fingertips, and wind the wet yarn around the cone. Continue wrapping lengths of glue-covered yarn around the cone until covered. Let the cone dry for a few days, then twist the cornucopia off the cone.

There are a lot of other cute holiday crafts at Parents.com and even more fun turkey projects over at Party Frosting.

More Fall Printables

There have been fun Fall printables fall over the place this month!  Here are a few more to add to the list!

Gratitude is the Memory of the Heart:

Thanksgiving:

Count Your Blessings:

Sack Lunch Messages:

Thanksgiving Subway Art:

and Get Your Pie On:

I love all the fun food themed printables this year.  If I could just find one about stuffing I could print tiny versions out and use them to label dishes on Thanksgiving Day!

Turkey Table

This turkey slipcover from Family Fun would be another great addition to the kids table:

It would look really cute with these turkey place mats from Noodlehead too:

Fall Mantel Ideas

Karla from It's The Little Things That Make A House A Home shared her beautiful Fall mantel on her blog yesterday:

The grapevine garland is gorgeous and I am seriously in love with wooden plank sign that she made to display her give thanks garland:

  It looks great on her mantel, but if you don't have a mantel that cute sign will give you some place to hang your garland!

You can see the details of the rest of her mantel HERE.

The Cutest Thanksgiving Kids Table

Cupcakes and Kisses posted about the cutest, Cutest, CUTEST Thanksgiving kids table idea that I have seen this year.  Maybe ever!  I am so excited about this that all other ideas have disappeared from my head and I am going to replicate this for the 5 kiddos that we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with in two weeks!

Are you ready to see it?  The very talented Lisa Storms created this project for Fiskars:

So many fun ideas and all of them are so easy to create.  I love the brown cup with the sail straw:

A regular straw and some white craft foam.  So easy!  The hardest part will be finding the brown paper cups.  I had a hard time finding them last year when I made Mayflower treats like these for the kids table and ended up painting some white ones brown:

I love the pilgrim hat crayon holder too:

But my favorite is the pumpkin pie that opens up to reveal a little pre dinner snack mix:

Are you as in love as I am?  You can check out these cute ideas and the rest of the fun holiday ideas over at Fiskars.

Raffia Cornucpipa

I found another great DIY cornucopia at I Am An Aspiring Artist over at Someday Crafts:

You can see the tutorial HERE.  I now have to figure out if I want the raffia cornucopia or the fabric cornucopia:

I might have to find a place for both!

Fabric Cornucopia Tutorial

At Second Street has the cutest fabric cornucopia that she uses in her Fall decorating:

and she actually made it herself last year:

You can see her tutorial and find out how to make one of your own  HERE.

Pumpkin Turkeys

This year we never got around to carving the large pumpkin that we bought on our impromptu trip to the pumpkin patch.  I ended up decorating it with a vinyl jack o lantern face.

I think the pumpkin should last thorough Thankgiving, and if it does I might have to make it a turkey costume like this one from Martha:

Be Grateful Printable

An old friend of mine from Arizona (we share a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law and two nieces) just started a blog two days ago.  I love brand new blogs!!  They are so fun.

And she already has a super cute free printable up for Thanksgiving:

You can download this at Saying It Sweet and while your there, leave Shauna a comment and welcome her to the dark side blogging.

Thankful Trees

I love to hear about other people's family traditions around holidays.  One that I love this time of year is the different ways people share what they are thankful for. Right now one of my favorites is the thankful tree.  People write down the things they are grateful for on beautiful fall colored leaves and display them in their home all year long.  Here are some I have seen recently that I love.

Char from Crap I've Made shared her traditional Thankful Tree:

I love the dimension that it gets from being in the corner!

Five Hens has a similar version, but I love that each leaf is personalized by using handprints:

Instead of the wall, his this thankful tree can be your centerpiece at the table or sit on your mantle:

And speaking of mantles, if you don't want an entire tree, you can go for just a thankful garland:

Do you have a family tradition for sharing what you are thankful for this time of year?  I would love to hear about it!

Beadboard Turkeys

Someday Crafts posted about these cute beadboard turkeys from Chapman Place:

And now I can't decide if I like the beadboard vertical (like feathers) or horizontal:

The gorgeous colors she used makes it hard to decide.  I guess you need an entire set like she made.  And I am thinking they would look really cute next to some Gobble 'Til You Wobble Blocks!

So what is your vote?  Vertical, horizontal, or a mixture of both?  Check out Jessica's Tutorial HERE and see if that helps make up your mind!

Thanksgiving Printables

I have shared some of the printables from Craftily Ever After before.  They are cute and funny and best of all free.  This one is my all time favorite for Thanksgiving.

But as much as I wanted to share her printables with you, I also wanted to share what she does with them:

She has three frames above her kitchen table that she changes out for every holiday, which is why she always has three cute printables you can download for free.  I love this idea and will be on the lookout for just the right frames!

You can see the rest of Jessica's printables HERE.
