Thanksgiving Place-card holders!

I love holidays... ALL holidays!  Thanksgiving being one on my favorites.  It is a day my family shares our meal with friends and family.  We have a wonderful time... it is wonderful spending time in the kitchen with the wonderful women in my life and my husband who is my biggest helper before everyone arrives.  He always peels all the potatoes!!

For the table this year I decided to may place markers using wooden spoons from Altered Pages with the  Altered Pages Altered Spoons Collage Sheet!

These will add a festive touch to any table!

 

 

Supplies:

Wooden Spoons - 7 inches

Brown ink

Paper  - Hello December

Stickles

Altered Pages Altered Spoons Collage Sheet

Pinecones from the Park

Ribbon or Fiber

Leaves - Confetti

Tacky Glue

Glue Stick

Dew Drops

Small Clothes Pins

 

Ink the bowl of the wooden spoons and edges.

 

Cut strips of paper a little wider than the handle, use emery board or sand paper to smooth down the edges and remove excess paper.

 

 

Cut images to fit in the bowl of the spoon, lightly ink edges, adhere to the spoon using glue stick.

 

Cut ribbon 7 inches, tie in a knot around the neck of the spoon, move the knot to the side. 

 

 

Add a thin line of  Stickles around the bowl of the spoon.  With tacky glue attach leaves and small pine cones. 

 

 

Finish off with a few Dew Drops! 

 

 

With tacky Glue add a small clothes pin to the back of the spoon to hold a card with name (also balances the spoon.)

 

 

 

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
