Wide-eyed Turkey

Another cute project I found is called a wide-eyed turkey. I found this one on Bitz & Giggles' website and Ellie begged me to make them. How could I resist.

Those wide big eyes remind me of my grandbaby! Once again, super easy to make and Ellie really enjoyed creating her own. 

Gather your materials:

* Cupcakes (homemade or bought)

*Chocolate Frosting

 *Fudge striped cookie (Dollar store)

 *Oreo Cookies (Dollar Store)

*Brown M&M's or chocolate chips (Dollar Store)

*Red Licorice (Dollar Store)

*Candy Corn (leftover from Halloween)

Now to the fun part, putting it all together:

Carefully pull the Oreos apart keeping the sides with the crème filling and eating the other. Add the brown M&M's to make the eyes. You can enforce them with frosting but Ellie said they were holding just fine.

Frost your cupcake:

Add frosting to the top half of the fudge striped cookie.

Arrange the candy corn as the feathers.

Cut a slit into the cupcake just large enough to slide the cookie in.

Add your eyes, candy corn beak and licorice to finish it off.

Look at how sweet they look in a grouping! We ran out of brown so Ellie used the blue M&M's!

Thank you for hanging in as I know this is a long post! I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving with loved ones. Be sure to let me know if you try any of these projects. I would love to see them.

Thanksgiving Pilgrim Hat

By: Norma Juarez

Hey all! Happy Thursday, the one week mark that is the beginning of Holiday fun! We will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our home this year.  I was in search of cute little crafts to entertain the kiddos. I found this fun idea on Lil Luna and thought it would be perfect. They are little Pilgrim hat crayon holders.

Here are the items you need to complete your own:

• Black paper cups ( I bought mine at Hobby Lobby)
• Black cardstock
• Ribbon, ric rac
• Hot glue gun w/ glue sticks
• Button
• Small paper square 

Step 1: Trace your circle on black cardstock

Step 2: Cut out the bottom of the cup

Step 3: Hot glue your ribbon and/or ric rac. Then hot glue the cup to the circle.

So fun and easy! Ellie wanted to make her own and here she is showing it off. Of course, I did all the dangerous steps for her (i.e. knife, glue gun, etc.).

Here is another shot of mine. I was also thinking that you can add other fun items such as popcorn, peanuts, candy, chocolate covered pretzels, etc. You will need to add shredded paper in the cup to elevate the crayons. Fun, easy, and inexpensive. All you need to add are the coloring pages and your all set.

 Thank you for hanging in as I know this is a long post! I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving with loved ones. Be sure to let me know if you try any of these projects. I would love to see them.
