DIY-Thankful Tree

[MamaBear2cubs]

Total Time 1 hour Ages all-ages

This project makes a wonderful annual tradition that your family can really grow into.

What you'll need

• Flowerpot
• Art sand (sold at craft supply stores)
• Bare tree branch
• Colored craft foam
• Scissors
• Permanent marker
• Large ornament hanger or straightened paper clip

How to make it

1. Fill a flowerpot with sand and set in a shapely bare tree branch.

2. Next, cut a pile of leaf shapes from colored craft foam.

3. As your guests arrive, have them take a leaf and, with a permanent marker, write their name and the date on one side and something they're grateful for on the other.

4. To decorate your tree, push a large ornament hanger or straightened paper clip through the stem of each leaf and hang it in place.

What a great idea!   Do you save the leaves from prior years or just add leaves each year?
