Pompom Turkey Favor

 When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of Scott and I waking up and

having a lazy breakfast before the dinner prep begins.  

So, I thought a cute little pompom turkey sitting on top of upside

down coffee cups at our table would be just the 

perfect favor to start the day!

Here's my crafty supplies: 

yarn, Aleene's Tacky Glue, polka dot papers, and a PattieWack Pompom Tool.

 First Step:

Make a pompom

 Second Step:

Cut out 3 tail feathers and 1 circle.

Third Step:

Fan-fold the tail feathers and glue the papers into place to make your cute pompom turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving!

DIY Thanksgiving

I absolutely fell in love with this idea when I saw it on the Better Homes & Gardens site. It is a block of floral foam cut into a sphere, and soaked in water. Then it is covered with orange mums with the stems cut really short and stuck into the foam. There is a twig in the top with leaves to make it look even more realistic. Sitting it on top of a cake plate is simply luscious, and perfect for a table setting. Oh, a single mum in an egg cup at each place setting would be sooo cute. I can't wait to try this. I just hope I can find miniature mums. Love it!

High-Heeled Pilgrim Party Shoe Favors

High-heeled Shoes and Thanksgiving?

Of course!

Who wouldn't want a darling Pilgrim Shoe Favor sitting at their place setting at your Thanksgiving dinner?

I have this Pattiewack Pattern Pak that has a great pattern for a paper shoe that I have been dying to make into a Pilgrim Shoe for a long time, and finally got around to it this year.

 I simply traced the pattern from the original and cut it out.

 I found an black file folder that was white on the inside, and I thought it was perfect for this, so I traced around the pattern onto the paper, and cut it out.

 The lines on the inside of the shoe are the fold lines, so I grabbed my scoring tool and scored all of the lines.

 Next, I folded all of the score lines inward, and the shoe magically started taking shape.

 My little Tacky Glue was perfect for adhering all of the tabs on my Pilgrim Shoe.

 The pattern has a cute little flower on the toe, but I cut it into a square so I could make it into a buckle.

 And it wouldn't be a Pilgrim Shoe without a big gold buckle!

I cut one out of gold paper and glued it on to finish it.

I love how it turned out. 

For the pattern, go to PattieWack.com and make one for everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!
