I have two pieces of table decor for you - one you've already seen, but I had to include it, and then a new one.
During our Holiday Tutorial Blitz / Falliday Fest event this year, we challenged ourselves to update our most popular holiday tutorials, and I chose Kelly Acheson's Witch Hat Clip tutorial. I thought it would be fun to turn it into a little Pilgrim hat for Thanksgiving, and I just happened to have some mini clothespins on hand to try it with.
Instead of the triangle she uses, I just tapered two rectangles so that the base was big enough that it wouldn't slip through the opening of the circle I cut with infinity dies - I used the 2.75" circle and the 1.5" circle. I hand cut the buckle from this glitter paper with my craft knife.
It's holding a kraft treat bag closed, and then I took a piece of watercolor paper, and sprinkled it with Sunset Beach, Rusty Car and Terracotta powders on it, and spritzed them with water. I die cut that with this beautiful leaf die, and then repeated it with Blue Lagoon cardstock, and then I pieced them together. I used the word die to cut the sentiment from this bundle using the same glitter paper. I just rubbed it on this adhesive to add it to the bag. I love that stuff.
I had a brief panic attack while constructing this. I have done so much purging of supplies I'm not using that my closet is in a bit of flux, and I momentarily could not find my cordless hot glue gun, so there was much screaming and gnashing of teeth. Suprisingly, no one else was as panicked as I was - RUDE!

Then of course I have my little pumpkin. If you missed this tutorial, you can find it here.
I hope you have a great holiday if you are in the US. Or just an awesome workday if you're not!
Loveyameanitbye.
Both cute, and I especially love that first one with the Pilgrim hat. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. P.S. Yes my eating pants are on :-)
