Papercrafting Pattern ~The Thanksgiving Table

What better way to decorate your table for Thanksgiving dinner then to spruce it up with your creativity!
Why not make a few table decorations from your scrap stash? All you need is your scrap supplies, and a few objects from your home or the ever reasonable Dollar Store!

Here’s what you will need:

**Creative Cafe paper bag & accenting buttons
**Queen & Co. Felt Fusion
**your favorite Thanksgiving paper
matching cardstock
**Cricut & your favorite shape from one of your cartridges
**water goblet
**and your imagination

{{Now if you don’t have a Cricut you can get some pretty cool shapes cut at TMZ on their AccuCut machine for a very reasonable cost. Or you can use whatever die cutting machine you do own, or buy a shaped paper.}}

I picked up a reasonable water goblet at the dollar store and pulled out my handy dandy Cricut machine to make a small centerpiece for my Thanksgiving table. Some of those basic shapes on the Cricut carts are always a good way to make place mats for any given holiday or everyday place settings. I found a very cool template in a Paper Crafts magazine, “cards, gifts & more papercrafting three ways.” It allowed you to create a lampshade with any paper of your choosing by using a PATTERN. You take your pattern and enlarge it to the size of your project. And then you trace the pattern out on your paper.

With a few special embellishments you can add a place card and a goody bag to the setting without pinching your pocketbook during the holiday season. I hope your Thanksgiving is an art filled one!
