Guest Tutoriel : Thanksgiving Trivia Cornucopia

Today, I have a real treat for you! I have contacted a handful of talented artisans and asked them to create a project just for you, so keep your eyes peeled for fun tutorials invited! Our first guest poster is the melody of CraftyButt. Melody is a hilarious humor and makes adorable projects for your home. And today, it is a melody year blogiversary! One year so happy melody and thank you for this creative and fun project.

Hello, readers Craft Gossip! I am melody, and asked me has graciously to post today. Most of the time, I can is located above craftybutt.blogspot.com sugar decoration of chaff to confuse and sewing of my sleeve for the table linen.

Today, I will put my serious pants and do a really fun project for your Thanksgiving table. Yes, our insulin levels is still fortification of Halloween, but this is no reason to not start thinking about a new opportunity to gorge ourselves.

Behold, I give you the cornucopia of Trivia Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings, to remember how fortunate we are and give thanks for our abundance. It is also a day that we have to go with these parents that avoid us successfully most of the year. To this end, I created a beautiful centerpiece with a surprise: these feathers see you packed neatly in the nook and cranny of the Horn of abundance are attached to the small pieces of paper that were a little Thanksgiving trivia printed on them.

Boom! Instant conversation dinner! It's fun, interesting and a great diversion for this moment when your uncle begins to tell jokes Sales. And it is also just too, too easy. Plug your weapon of glue and let's get busy!

Start by pushing your garage rafters and pulling down your cornucopia of Wicker (where you have not one, a basket is just as Mignon) and leaves your full of cones, dried Rubbermaid tub and other assorted autumn decor. assemble your Sham Thanksgiving on the kitchen counter and decide where you want to place in your basket or Horn of plenty. Here's a little graphic detailing what I piled in my Horn and where.

Once I have all had in place the way I wanted to, I have taken the feathers out and cancel. I googled "thanksgiving trivia" and found several links. Some links are just lists of the little-known facts of these holidays, and others are multiple quizzes of choice that test your knowledge of the history of Thanksgiving. I liked the idea of having a little of everything, so I printed the two.

Cut your trivia into strips and put a small point of hot glue on the nib of a pen. Attach a bunch of trivia to glue and let dry time. Roll paper firmly against the pen and it tuck back into place in your Horn of plenty.

Repeat until you have used all your feathers, then take step back and admire your charming table. It's so festive! And like all projects craft good, it is easily adaptable. Make a smaller cornucopia with stupid Thanksgiving jokes for the table of children! If you choose to print a quiz, have your guests keep feathers whenever they respond correctly and give a price low to the person who collects the most!

And, of course, a project like this can be changed on other holidays, too. I am already brainstorming a way to hide Easter trivia in my eggs Mimosa!

Happy Thanksgiving!
