Give Thanks Blocks

For decor purposes there really isn't a lot of things outside of cornucopias and turkeys that you can use for Thanksgiving. For those of us who like to feel festive by adding pieces of decorations, even just subtle accents it can be boring to use the same things over and over again. So today's craft is a great reminder of what Thanksgiving is about while also doubling as a great small decoration. You can put in a window sill as I did, on your stovetop, or anywhere you have a small space that could use a little reminder to "give thanks".

You Will Need:

* (12) 1 1/2" Cubes

* Fall themed scrapbook paper, two coordinating pieces

* Alphabet stickers

* Glue Stick, Scissors, Ruler, Pencil

* Marker

Step One:

On the back of your scrapbook paper, draw 1 1/2" squares using your ruler and pencil. This will actually be too large for the blocks, but you'll have the opportunity to trim them down after you cut them out (it leaves room for error).

Step Two:

Cut out the squares and trim down to fit the face of the blocks.

Step Three:

Glue each square on to one side of the blocks, when done four blocks should have one style of scrapbook paper, while the other either have the coordinating paper.

Step Four:

Put your alphabet letters on. I also drew a heart and a leaf to glue on - you can do the same or leave plain, up to you. Or if you have leaf stickers use those.

Step Five:

This step is optional if your letters stand out on their own. If you bought letters than mostly blend in with the scrapbook paper like I did, then use a coordinating color and trace around the letters, heart, and leaf. That's it! Now you can enjoy your little block decoration wherever you need a reminder to give thanks!

Final Verdict? Easy and Cute! What's not to love?

Kid Friendly? Definitely! Boose cut out the squares, glued them on, and helped me pick out the stickers and paper. I'd classify this as "some adult guidance required".
