Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers. I am taking the week off from blogging to enjoy my family and celebrate the holiday. I will be back to a regular blogging schedule starting the week of November 29th.
In the meantime, enjoy these cute little Thanksgiving figures I made for my grandchildren. I plan to put them on our Thanksgiving table along with some paper turkeys I crafted years earlier. My Thanksgiving table is filled with babies and pre-schoolers so no fancy table centerpieces for us. I use our nice china, but the decorations are something the grandkids can touch and play with.
I wish I could link to a tutorial of how I made these adorable Thanksgiving figures, but the link appears to be broken. I found the idea on Pinterest, but when I clicked on the link, it would just stall and never connect; so, I made them by just looking at the picture. They turned out pretty good for not having a template and/or instructions. I think the only thing I messed up on was the Pilgrim Ladies hat. Mine looks more like a chef's hat than a pilgrim's hat. 😁
If you haven't figured it out by looking at them, they are made using cardboard toilet paper rolls. I then cut all the "colored" pieces out using card stock and then I hand drew the faces, necklaces, and buttons on. They were a lot of fun to make!
PHILIPPIANS 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Happy Thanksgiving! Amy
