GIVE Thanks

I am so excited for Thanksgiving this year! I also feel extra thankful for my family and friends, and people like you, who read my blog.

I found these letters at JoAnn's recently and knew exactly what I was going to do with them.

I coated them with brown paint. Then found some coordinating scrapbook papers and traced each letter.

Cut out each letter and glue the paper onto the letter.

I then affixed the word "thanks" to the bottom of the "E" letter.

Put a coat of Mod Podge over everything. After it dries, embellish your letters with whatever you would like.


Then display and give thanks for all the wonderful things in your life!



I will link up to these parties this week. Make sure you check back later this week for another (easy) Thanksgiving craft.
