Kiddo Craft-O's: Leaf Turkey

This was the most recent craft I hosted at the library. I thought it would be a great way to welcome November and highlight the leaves that are now falling so fast from the tree's. :-)

What you need:

Pressed leaves

Assorted Foam Shapes

Glue

Craft sticks

Googly Eyes

Card stock Paper

~Glue the leaves onto the paper.

~Glue foam shapes on top as small feathers.

~Glue a round foam circle as the body.

~Find shapes for the head, wattle, and beak and glue them on.
~Add a craft stick (broken in half) for the legs.

~A nice googly eye for fun will finish the project!!

Frugalicious Friday

Paper Twist Thanksgiving Craft

You know, I love Thanksgiving. I love the thought behind it, the gathering of friends and family, the delicious food, and the leftovers. But (you knew that was coming, right?), I'm not too hot on decorating for Thanksgiving. I just don't have the best ideas or the inspiration that I feel for other holidays. 

Recently, I was gifted with a horde or crafting leftovers (Thanks, Linda!!) , which included a large supply paper twist. I've never used it before, but I love the look of it. I was also gifted some paper twist doll making books...yay!! This pilgrim-ish doll above is my first attempt. Not too bad, if I do say so myself!! 

Yup, I think I'll be doing plenty more of this!!
