Thanksgiving Blessings

This board is nice because you can change the window scenery, verse, and a few extras and create a Christmas board. With Thanksgiving and Christmas being so close together this can help save time and money - two things in high demand between the end of November and December. :)

Background: Plastic Tablecloth

Border: Store bought scalloped edging

Lettering: Colored Paper - done by Cricut w/Design Studio (that's how the letters for each word are connected to each other)

Scripture: Colored paper / Typed out

Picture Frame: Construction paper & Ribbon matching curtain tie backs

Window Frames: Thick card stock

Scenic view: Chalked Free-hand (Chalk does come off - afterwards we thought to put clear plastic wrap over the picture - then it might give it a look of glass too -- just a thought) (You could find something with a scenery already on it - like fabric, wrapping paper, a poster, etc.. and use that instead ... just be sure to make your frame the appropriate size)

Curtains: Lacy-looking plastic tablecloth cut in 4 equal rectangular shapes and tied back with ribbon (Top of "curtain" tucked behind window frame and stapled)

Tablecloth: Round plastic tablecloth cut on one edge then tucked down behind table and stapled from underneath.

Table: Brown crafting paper - cut out free hand

Fruit and Candlesticks: Cricut cut-outs. (stencils, die-cuts, or clipart are other options)

Bread 'n Bowl: Construction paper - cut 'n colored freehand
