Hi, my name is Apryle and I am addicted to pinterest. If you haven't been to this website, you REALLY need to check it out. I mean I check it several times a day, look at several different things and get TONS of ideas for things I want to make.
This past weekend we made 2 Thanksgiving crafts. We had SOOOOOO much fun making them, I hope we can keep doing these for all the holidays and just craft time around our home!
The first thing we made was a Turkey Light. Basically we painted the girls hands with acrylic paint, pressed their hands onto the glass cube, made a few little touch ups, put christmas lights in the cube and TA DA there you have it, a tukrey light. It always makes a really cute keepsake. Every Thanksgiving we can see how much the girls hands have grown :)
The second project we made were turkey shirts for the girls to wear throughout the month. Not let me tell you now, I AM NOT A SEAMSTRESS, never have a never will be. Needle and thread are like oil and water with me, we do NOT mix!!!
I have seen these turkey shirts ALL over ETSY! They wanted like $20 a shirt plus shipping. I thought about it and finally said instead of spending $50+ on 2 shirts, why dont I try to make them. A friend of mine, Ashlee, made some for her 2 girls. With some tips for her, some guidiance from my mother's friend on using under wonder, and my some what craft skills we accomplished our mission in making the shirts!
