Thankful Tree

I have been posting on facebook

something that I am thankful for each day 

of the month of November

I loved the idea 

and wanted to take it one step further

and display what we are thankful for in our home

There was post linked up to my party a couple weeks ago

From Junk in the Trunk
she had a cute idea to do a thankful Tree

I loved it and knew that is what I wanted to do

And it was meant to be 

because I already had a vase of sticks ready 

as fall decor

What you will need:

-A vase

-Sticks/branches (I got mine from the back yard they were

all ones that had fallen off trees and stuff)

-paper
-leaf pattern (from cutting machine or online)

-A sharpie 

-what you are thankful for

What I did:

- I got all different sized branches 
and arranged them in a vase
-Then I got on my silhouette and found some leaf
shapes I wanted and the machine cut them for me
on all different types of fall paper I had lying around
-You could also just find some leaf images online
and trace and cut them out you don't have to have a cutting machine to do this
-It is fun to get patterned and solid papers in fun colors to make it really pop
and show all the fall leaf colors
-Next i punches a tiny hole with a needle,
put some thread through it and tied it to give it a loop to hang on the branches

-We started with empty branches
-Then each day of the month we have be writing something we are
thankful for on a leaf and putting it on the tree

-Maddux colors one each day

He loves to color 

and everyday he points to the leaves and says color

what a sweety

 

-Then by the end of the month you will have a full Tree 

with so many things you are thankful for

and if you are having a bad day just go and look at your full tree

and see how blessed you really are

Easy Peasy
