Craft it :: Handprint Turkeys

I'm into a glam Thanksgiving this year.  Mostly because everywhere I look for Thanksgiving ideas it's all kinds of homey/ rustic/ rough around the edges.  Why?  There is no reason why you have to be thankful for what you have in a country setting.  I decided to glam up Thanksgiving this year with a little spray paint.   The first craft is turning gourds (left over from Halloween at our house) into Thanksgiving Turkeys.  Really really easy.  You just have to have access to children's hands.

:: You'll need ::

Children's hands
Gourds with turned 'necks'
Silver spray paint
Colored card stock
Hammer + nails

Step 1 :: Trace child's hand print onto card stock and cut out several hand prints.
Step 2 :: Spray paint gourd completely and let dry.
Step 3 :: Poke a nail through the base of the handprints.
Step 4 :: Pound nail into the blossom end of the gourd.



** If you are tracing the handprints of your own children, be sure to write their name on the bottom and the date.  Save for next year and compare.
