{Give Thanks}


I starting looking on blog land for a good Thanksgiving craft since I only have a few Thanksgiving home decor items. I found this one: At Second Street titled Give Thanks Banner- Free Printable. {Thank you Kalleen for such a great banner!} I did a fun twist by printing my letters on used grocery bags because I wanted a more vintage look.

Supplies:
1. Grocery bags or card stock/scrap book paper
2. Printer
3. Ribbon

Directions:
1. Print letters on paper and cut them out. I left a border around my letters. {I used grocery bags or you can use card stock/scrap book paper}


 2. Whole punch the top of letters. {I added eyelets to my punched holes to add color with a  Crop-A- Dile tool}
These are eyelits

3. String ribbion through the top {I used twine ribbon}

As a family we created a list on what we are thankful for!

{Family, Friends, Church, Summer, Our House, Family Trips, Milk, Night Night, Preschool, Bikes, Pizza, Curious George, Wrestling, Jesus, Yogurt and Blocks}

My 2 year old Landon and 4 year old Carter thought this was so fun!

Thank you for reading my blog!

  1. So cool Julie! I saw one in a magazine that said "Joy to the World" and was strung on twine. Try it!

  2. This is pretty cool! We've done a few things similar to this as a family, but yours looks great. The grocery bag letters give the words a sense of tradition and antique. I found a similar blog before this if you want to check it out (I like spreading home decor ideas!). Thanks!
