Natural Holiday Projects

While thanksgiving has come and gone here in Canada, its still up and coming for my American friends and family.  Thanksgiving is a fun holiday to decorate for because its so simple.  If you already have all items up, awesome, your 90% there!  We didn’t have thanksgiving dinner at our own home this year, so we didn’t even have a table setting to share!  I do have one simple project that I made with the kids, which is an in between project for Christmas.  I will explain…

Give Thanks Banner

The first week of school Calgary had a freak snow storm in between sunny beach days.  This meant lots of wet, heavy snow which broke a lot of trees.  Being the inventive maker that I am, I immediately thought of a few crafts I could make using wood logs.  I really wanted to make a large sized wood charger to use as a wall hanging or place mat on my dining table, but it required a chain saw to cut wood slices that large.

Natural Holiday

I used my chop saw to cut some of the branches into thin slices.  I then drilled two holes into the top and strung them together with twine.  This gives me a simple wood garland I can use for any holiday.  It works perfectly with my fireplace mantle.  See my sugar skulls I made in last months Cricut challenge?  I love how easy it was to add them vinyl stickers to an old candle.

I used my Cricut Explore to cut out some vinyl letters spelling give thanks.  Perfect for thanksgiving.  I love having the Cricut to make these simple crafts.  I am planning on updating it or Christmas decor as well.  Check back for more projects with these wood slices.

*please excuse the horrible lighting. It was late before I could get a picture without kids in it. I will try to take more tomorrow*

Cricut just released a new Print Then Cut technology that is looking amazing.  Check out this video:

If you are loving the natural holiday trend, check out these other projects my friends made with their Cricut explore this month.
