Hello and Happy Thursday to you!
I have been missing from blog land for the last couple of weeks due to having gall bladder surgery.
I am happy to report I had my follow up appointment with the surgeon and I am doing fine and able to slowly increase my activity level as I see fit! I was excused from posting projects from the design team while I recovered.
Can you believe we only have TWO WEEKS until it is Thanksgiving Day? Oh my!
Thanksgiving table with a few new table decor projects.
I started out by making napkin rings. For this project I used something we all have and use everyday in our homes...empty toilet paper tubes! Well, I guess most people don't use EMPTY toilet paper tubes daily, but you know that I mean they are easy to be found!
I cut each tube to be 1 1/2 inches wide and covered them with paper from Bo Bunny Apple Cider Collection. (Is that paper collection NOT THE CUTEST??).
I glued the paper around the tubes after cutting strips of paper to fit the "rings" and then added a leaf to each
for a little more decoration. The leaves were found on the Artiste Cartridge on page 78 - I cut a variety of sizes so I could mix and match and see what I liked best for the finished project. I ended up using leaves cut at 2 3/4 inches and 3 inches.
I ran them through the Cuttlebug to give them some texture.
Here are the napkin rings before I added the leaves:
And here is one of the napkin rings with the leaf added!
Next, I used the Thanksgiving Seasonal Cartridge to cut place card holders.
I cut both the base the layer to make the place card.
I will add the guests names once my guest list is complete!
For the final piece of my tablescape... I made favor boxes to resemble a piece of Pumpkin Pie!
This way guests can have a little snack for later!
I plan to fill it with either Hershey Kisses or Dark Chocolate Hershey Nuggets.
I added a swirl of tulle to resemble Whipped Cream on top!
I decided to try "Glubbers" and I really was not happy with the results.
Just did not stick as well as I wanted.
Here are a couple more shots of my "ready for Thanksgiving Table"!
I hope this gives you some ideas for decorating your table for the holiday!
Let me know what you think!
