Velvet Acorns

This fast project is perfect to add to your 

Thanksgiving table, Glitterinas!

Gather up some empty acorn hats....

This is a wonderful job for  

helpful littles.

Pick out some pom poms that 

are fall colors....

....glue the two together....

and 

Tah Dah....

Velvet Acorns!

I used hot glue around the 

circular edge of each acorn hat 

to attach the pom pom.

Here's a look at the ones I made....

.....a triple hat...

....and the big 

mamma jamma

(thank you Robbi for adding that term to my 

vocabulary a hundred years ago)

.....five hats on one stem!

These look cute on the table just

scattered around.

They also look good in 

pretty, little bowls.

You could pile them in 

a tea cup, or place one 

at each person's place for 

a little favor to take home!

Give these a try and scatter them around your 

Thanksgiving table.

Little velvet acorns will add

a fun touch to your holiday table.

Leave me a note and let me know 

what you think about 

these little cuties!

Share a picture if you give this project a try....

Thanks, Glitterinas!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Tammy

A Touch of Thanksgiving!

Welcome, Glitterinas!

With Halloween all packed away, it's time to 

begin getting ready for

Thanksgiving!

What a wonderful time of year.....

a time when we gather with family and friends 

 eat a meal, 

talk and laugh, 

watch a parade and wave at Santa,

watch some football,

eat some dessert,

and think about all the things we have to be thankful for!

I enjoy creating a seasonal tablescape and

using my pretty Thanksgiving plates 

to set the dining room table.

When all the leaves are in the dining room table 

we can seat lots of friends and family.

I am using a 

l-o-n-g 

cream colored table cloth with

lots of pretty fall leaves on it.

Top this with a burlap runner.

Then I gathered up an assortment 

of ribbon to make bows for.....

....my new lanterns!

Snip, snip, gather and tie.....

here's the tall lantern with it's bow!

I also added a colorful leaf.

Snip, snip, gather and tie, again.....

.....and here's the smaller lantern with it's

topper!

I like the way they look.

What do you think, Glitterinas?

Switch on the candles.....

....and add two small. sparkly pumpkins and a 

bit of leaf confetti to finish off the table.....

.....and little votives with candles for

the grand darlings to blow out!

A few other touches around the house.....

a cornucopia plate in the little, red wire rack.

A banner reminding me to give thanks.....

.....and handsome Mr. Turkey reminding me to

"Share the Harvest".

Our large cabinet wears a 

"Thankful" banner.....

......and a candle burns in the kitchen to 

make the house smell like 

delicious baked treats!

My list of things to be thankful for 

grows longer and longer each year.

What's on your list, Glitterinas?

Have you started getting ready 

for Thanksgiving.....does

your mouth water when you 

think about this yearly feast....

What is your favorite thing to eat at Thanksgiving?

Thank you so much for stopping by today

and taking time to read my thoughts here 

at Pink Glitter!

Until next time,

Tammy
