This post is sponsored by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. I was provided supplies and a gift card for incidental purchases in order to create the projects mentioned within. All content is 100% original and all opinions are 100% mine and truthful.
Last, but not least, in this tablescape trio for kiddo is the place card. These are super simple and take about five minutes to put together. Get directions for the no-sew place mats and the turkey napkin rings to complete your kid table this Thanksgiving.
TURKEY PLACE CARDS
Materials:
– Scrapbook Paper (card stock thickness)
– Pipe Cleaners/Chenile Stems (I was looking for the dark ones, but these fun striped ones worked great!)
– Googly Eyes
– Orange Foam Scraps (from the napkin rings)
– Glue gun and glue sticks
Directions:
– Cut your scrapbook paper into 4×6 inch rectangles. Fold in half to create a tent.
– Start with an orange pipe cleaner and make this shape:
Size is personal preference, but you want it to fit on your place card. I used about a third of each pipe cleaner on one turkey.
– Take a yellow pipe cleaner and make this shape:
– Twist the two pipe cleaners together and arrange until you’re happy with the shape. Secure with a little hot glue if you’re worried about them.
– Cut a small triangle out of the orange foam. Glue over the twist in the pipe cleaners.
– Glue two googly eyes on above the foam beak.
– Glue the turkey to the card.
That’s it. So easy, right? And look at how cute they are?! Adorable. Of course you can embellish the card as much as you’d like. I wanted to keep the turkey the focal point so I kept it simple.
So, here’s the whole table:
KIDS THANKSGIVING TABLE
Yep, plastic dishes and all… that’s how we roll. No stinking way am I going to give my kids anything that might make a bigger mess than the food on their plates already will.
And, out of curiosity, I set it up with a little more grown-up feel to it…
Definitely not a formal table like most tablescapes… but I like it. The quote frame adds a little more of an “adult-feel” to the whole table. That would be an easy way to keep the table informal, yet still decorated. I posted that tutorial last Thursday if you’re interested.
So there you have it. My #turkeytablescape.
