| Tom Tom Turkey Kids Craft |
I remember growing up making these pinecone turkeys with my brothers, and now I can't resist making them with my children! Make a bunch and use them for place cards at the table, or line them on a mantel or windowsill for a grouping of gobblers!
You'll Need:
- 1 large pinecone
- feathers in bright colors
- red and brown chenille stems
- googly eyes
- 1 medium pom-pom
- orange fun foam
- scissors
- glue
Step 1: Glue the feathers into the back of the pinecone to create plume.
Step 2: Glue eyes on the pom-pom. Cut pipe cleaners and twist to make feet and gizzard. Glue on all turkey parts.

Easy Cornucopia Centerpiece
|
Colorful, and easy to make, and filled with lush autumnal ingredients, all of which were found at the local market or in the backyard, yes really! Everyone at the table will be thankful you are so very florally fabulous!
I found the cabbages at the local market, but if they are not available, try the local garden center and buy potted ones, cut the stems and remove the lower leaves. Skewer the bottom end of the pears so the pretty top side shows. For a tablescape, toss chestnuts down the table and sprinkle in some pears for an organic look that would make any pilgrim proud!
You'll Need:
- cabbage heads
- peach roses
- alstroemeria
- seckel pears
- chestnuts
- cedar clippings
- sage
- block of oasis
- container
- wooden skewers
