Thanksgiving Crafts eBook

Letter from the Editors

Dear Reader,

We are excited to present our latest craft eBook with 30 craft projects for Thanksgiving, including Paper Crafts, Decorations, Table Accents and Thanksgiving Crafts for kids. Welcome family and friends to a Thanksgiving feast at your home with homemade decorations and table accents. Themes include turkeys, pilgrims, pumpkins, leaves and warm autumn colors. Find just the right project to make your house warm and inviting this Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is a special holiday during which we Americans gather with our loved ones, share a feast and most importantly, remember the good things in our lives. Thanksgiving reminds us to be thankful for these good things, value others and to share what we can, just as the Native American did with the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving feast. With such a wonderful message, let’s honor Thanksgiving with the same excitement as the other end‐of‐year holidays.

You can find more free Thanksgiving crafts and other upcoming holiday crafts at www.FaveCrafts.com.

Our eBooks, like all our craft projects, are absolutely FREE to members of our crafting community.

Please feel free to share with family and friends and ask them to sign up at our website for our

free e‐mail newsletter.

Sincerely,

The Editors of FaveCrafts

Apply the first sheet to a sheet of Wall Art adhesive making sure that the side you want to show is face up. If you are adhering to something reflective or clear, you will need to make sure that the colors and patterns on the back side of your papers coordinate.

3. Use your paper trimmer to trim excess Wall art adhesive and carrier sheet away from patterned cardstock. Do not remove white top sheet yet. Flip over and rub back side to transfer adhesive to the cardstock. Now turn over and remove top white sheet and place the cardstock with clear carrier sheet face down onto the Silhouette cutting pad and rub to make sure it is attached and that there are no bumps.

4. You will need to insert and align the carrier sheet with your patterned cardstock into the Silhouette per the directions provided with the software.

5. Choose FILE > CRAFT ROBO… from pull down menu to cut out the graphics. Next, select Cardstock 40‐60lb from the pull down menu in the pop up window. (If you are using heavier cardstock, you will need to change out this setting and the recommended cutting blade). Once all your settings are done, choose cut. When finished cutting use left hand wheel on the Silhouette to remove the carrier sheet with patterned paper.

6. Leave patterned cardstock on carrier sheet. Using the point of a cutting blade, remove each digital graphic. Make sure the clear adhesive carrier sheet is not still attached to the back side or it will not stick. Start randomly placing leaves and swirls onto wall in a rough circular shape. See below.

7. Repeat steps 2‐6, applying each sheet of patterned graphics to the wall, one sheet at a time. You will be able to rearrange images as you work, but caution not to do this too often, or your graphics may no longer want to stick. You will want to make sure that your wreath doesn’t have any obvious holes or gaps and that the colors are well balanced.

An Additional Side Project Created from Left Overs: Fall Candle Holder While I was working on the wreath project, I decorated a glass candle holder with some of the remaining diecut graphics. This is a very fun project because you can enjoy both sides of the patterned papers.

Keep this idea in mind while you are working on your wreath. You can use some of the graphic elements to decorate a vase, candle holder or glass bowl.
