Here are some additional Thanksgiving projects to do. The first one look like a good last minute
idea.
Wrapped
Votives
Materials: harvest-scented candles that can fit inside
glass votive cups, votive glass cups, and wrap the vessels with tamale-making
husks, and rubber band
Directions:
Soak husks in warm water for a minute to make them flexible.
Tightly wrap a husk around a votive cup and hold in place with a rubber band.
Trim excess husk at the top and bottom. Twist a thin length of husk and tie it
around the center of the candleholder; remove rubber band.
Golden
Gourds
Materials: Newspapers, Gourds in desired
shapes and sizes, Gold spray or acrylic paint, Paintbrush, if needed and Cake
plate
Directions:
Prepare work surfaces. Cover the work surface with newspaper
in a well-vented area. Wash and dry the gourds.
Paint the gourds. Spray-paint the gourds using gold paint. Or,
if desired, paint the gourds with acrylic paints using a paintbrush. Let the
paint dry.
Pile them high. Stack and arrange the gourds on a cake plate.
Leafy
Napkin Ties
Materials: Card stock in assorted fall colors, assorted
beads, 3-inch head pin, Leather cord, Hole punch and matching eyelets to fit
the leather cord
Directions:
Cut the leaves from the assorted card stock based on the
pattern. Punch a hole and slide a piece of leather cord through it. Add beads
to the ends of the leather cord and tie a knot on each end. Wrap the leather
cord around the napkin with the leaf on top. Write the name of the person on
the leaf.
Fall Leaf
Table Runner
Materials: Felt, glue ribbon, single fold
bias tape, table runner, leaf pattern
Directions:
Find and enlarge a fallen leaf shape and cut it out from a
piece of felt. Glue ribbon or single-fold bias tape to the edge and place on a
contrasting piece of felt or complementary table runner.
