turkey garland

hey now it's only a week away 

from thanksgiving so i gotta get cranking with  the turkey day festivity prep.

whaddya say to this? 

here's an easy peasy craft to turn any plain room 

into a thanksgiving celebration.

all you need is this:

like it says, it's a placecard kit but 

since it comes with 10 placecards,

 and i didn't need that many, 

 i decided to make a turkey garland out of it. 

here's the how-to:

i just cut the shape free hand.

it doesn't have to be perfect and i liked the 

fact that every turkey has their own shape.

ok so next:

then repeat repeat repeat to get this:

ok settle down settle down you wild turkeys you!

let's say we hold these guys down before we lose control.

so there ya go.

an orderly line of thanksgiving turkeys to adorn your room.

hope thanksgiving gives you a chance 

to gobble til you wobble :)!

watermelon cupcake liner pom pom garland

how many pieces of watermelon would you say 

were in an actual watermelon?

12?

20?

57?

well, if i were to ask this to my hubby,

he would say "4".

yup. 4 pieces.

bcause my watermelon loving hubby cuts a watermelon 

in 4 HUMONGOUS pieces and goes to town.

needless to say, it is his fave fruit.

i, on the other hand, like it too but 

i do NOT like the fact that he leaves 

those darn watermelon rinds on the table 

where i discover them in the morning since he likes to chomp on midnite watermelon 

after i've fallen asleep.

sigh.

they have seedless watermelon, 

so why can't someone invent rindless watermelon?
i guess i could buy the pre-slice cube stuff 

but heck i would have to buy 30 tubs of them 

to satisfy my watermelon hubby.

anyway, it was his bday recently and because 

i had watermelon on the brain,

i made him a garland for his bday.

not that he really cared about it, 

as i don't think garland is really something men care that much about, but heck, i like it.

so i made watermelon garland. 

with pom poms, nonetheless.

and mini cupcake liners.

it's another super easy peasy craft.

and yes, it has been done before as i saw

on google after the fact when i made it, (shoot!)

but at least mine has pom poms.

here goes:

those little white dots in the pic above 

are just tacky glue.

this amount in real watermelon life 

would equal about a teaspoon in my hubby's eyes.

i just hot glued the corner of 

the watermelon slice on a pom pom.

so there ya have it.

perhaps the best part of these is that 

i don't have to throw the watermelon rind out!?!
