Thanksgiving Thankful tree

Hi there everyone!

This is a first for me…a Thanksgiving Thankful tree that is.

My Halloween tree was also a first.  After I took it down, I pondered whether or not to put the tree away until Christmas or create another Fall tree.

I posted my thoughts on instagram {love that place btw} and had a few suggestions.

One was to create a Thankful tree.  Brilliant idea.

So I headed out to the Dollar tree to see what goodies I could find on the cheap.  Of course, I did not want to spend a lot of money for just a few weeks until I decorate my Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

I picked up two packs of faux leaves and two rolls of ribbon.  Costing me a whopping $4.00!

I love to sharpie and stencil so I thought with my Family stencil I found at Michael’s a few weeks ago, I could stencil some of these words on my faux leaves.

I loved when I made my Burlap kitchen art with this stencil.  The words are perfect for any home.

I lightly sprayed the back with the stencil adhesive and gently placed it on the leaves.  Took only a few minutes to sharpie the words on.

I had some chalkboard labels left from last Christmas that I used on some candy Christmas gift jars I made.

The adhesive stencils I found in a pack by Plaid at Walmart I believe a few years ago.  I used them on my Fall mason jars last year.

I found some pinecones outside and a few Fall pumpkin picks I had on hand. Decorating with Nature is free:)

Of course no Thankful tree could go without a rooster or two.  I used a rooster rubber stamp I had on hand also found at Michael’s last year.

I made a recipe box and used this cutie only once, so it was time to get it out again.  I love having a stash of craft supplies.  I certainly use them over and over again eventually.

You may get tired sometimes of seeing the same things, but at least I show you different ways to create with them.

I placed my owl rit dye family plaque on the base and called er done!

I also added a little raffia to the tree branches.

I love our Thankful tree and certainly am Thankful.

  12. Such a cute idea, and it sure looks easy. I put my Halloween tree away today, but now I’m thinking that I should get it back out and change it into a thankful tree! Thanks for another easy and inexpensive inspiration!

    • You are welcome Judy! Mine almost went away too, but then I asked on instagram and this idea came up. I thought it was perfect and very fitting for the season and Holiday! I love it.

  14. A great idea, and I love that it has rooster representation! I think it’s great to see the same things decorated in different ways. After all, most of us keep using the same things in our homes, so it’s good to be inspired to think about them in new ways.

  17. Love the idea! Hmmm….in a group participation/ice breaker activity, maybe you could have your T’giving guests write what they’re thankful for on the leaves and then put them on tree….? Make people reflect & count their blessings…

    Btw, where did u pick up Charlie? It is THE perfect size!
