Turkey Crafts!

We have been having a lot of fun doing Thanksgiving and fall games and crafts this week. I haven't been getting many pictures, but I did snap a few of the turkey crafts Molly made.

Molly loved gluing the paper rings onto the plate in this one! I saw this fun craft over at A Mommy's Adventures. We still have to add the yellow legs. :)

This craft was a blast. It doesn't look the prettiest, but was so fun to make. Molly colored a coffee filter with washable markers and then sprayed it with a water bottle. After it dried we folded it in half and made it into a turkey. Molly loved making this so much, she ended up making 8 of them! Now we have a whole turkey farm in our house. :) This craft idea came from Funny Days With Mommy and Maddie.

We've also been doing a ton of the fun activities, songs, papers, and games from Moo Moo's & Tutus great Thanksgiving Tiny Teach FREE Download. It is AWESOME!

Turkey T-Shirts!

Check out the fun Turkey T-Shirts I made for the girls to wear on Thanksgiving!

I loosely followed the tutorial from Nancy's Couture to make these fun shirts. But I used the turkey pattern from the Silhouette I won to make the stencil, and used a black fabric marker for the eyes.

I made the one on the left for Molly, and a matching little one for Nora on the right. I think they turned out super cute! I was going to have them model them for pictures, but with my girls the second they put them on stains will magically appear. :) So they have to wait until Thanksgiving!

Turkey Hair Clip!

I saw these adorable Ribbon Turkey Hair Clips at a craft fair and knew I had to make some for the girls for Thanksgiving. For this one, the ribbon is just hotglued to a alligator clip covered in brown ribbon. For Nora's I glued the turkey to a headband like I did HERE for the spider one. Her hair is still a little to short for an alligator clip to hold. I'll get a picture of hers tomorrow when she wakes up. :) And I'll show you the super cute turkey shirts I made!

(PS- Anyone know how to glue on gluey eyes without burning your fingers with hot glue a million times ;)

Quick Vinyl Decorations!

I finally decided to get brave, and try cutting some vinyl with the Silhouette I won. It was so easy, and now I am addicted. I've been walking around the house trying to figure out what else needs a bit of vinyl. :)

I cut some white vinyl saying, "Give Thanks," to add to this metal sign I had. I wanted something to hang on the new black post I made for Thanksgiving.

I also cut the phrase, "Find Joy in the Journey," to add to one of the pumpkins I had as a Halloween decoration, hoping to make it more of a fall decoration. And, I am loving that phrase right now, so it is perfect to have it out on the counter.
