Thanksgiving crafts

Have time to spare this weekend? Use your down time to prepare your home for Thanksgiving! Here are a couple craft things I found that will take your home to the next level for the holiday. These items will look great on the coffee table or on the bookshelf!

Take any leave from your lawn to place on plain pillar candles. Coat the backs of the leaves with decoupage medium and smooth in place on the outside of the candle. If necessary, use tacky white craft glue to hold the stems down. Cover the sides of the candle and the leaves with one or more coats of the decoupage.

This craft is so chic and cute! Get yourself a small pumpkin, a grocery store bouquet, and a hot glue gun. Choose a bouquet with harvest hues and cut each flower at the top of its stem, just below each flower head. Attach each blossom to an uncut pumpkin with a little hot glue. Sprinkle colorful leaves and small gourds around the pumpkins. Easy and adorable!
