What's that? Oh... Canadian people are saying "Brittany, Thanksgiving was a month ago!" In answer to that... yes it was, but this was decorating our mantel since then and I forgot about it! OOPS! So this was a last minute decision on my part, but it still worked out 90% like I wanted it too! While talking to a wonderful Englishman via Skype I cut out those lovely leaves from construction paper (and yes we had 15 people for dinner so it made quite the strand). I recommend talking to interesting people while cutting out shapes, as it makes the task less daunting. ANYWAYS! You then carefully ask your guests to fill the leaves with things they are thankful for (I may have had to be persuasive with a few people) and string them along a thread (I will choose a nicer thread next time). Hang along your mantel or on a wall and it makes for lovely and inspiring decorations!
Here's what I learned on how to improve:
- Thicker cardstock
- Different leaf shapes for variety
- Twine to stick with an earthy feel (perhaps not purple yarn)
Happy really late Thanksgiving Canada (or early if American)
