Thanksgiving Day Placemats

For some reason I have become obsessed with having a new handmade Thanksgiving Day decoration each year. Here is what I found in a magazine this year. I thought it would be fun to make the placemats shown below with the boys.
I bought all the supplies for our craft when I was in labor with Brooks. Is that a dedicated crafter or what!?!?!? :)

So this is my idea of "fun". A lot of glue, yarn, paint and two boys!

Here is one of our finished products. They didn't turn out quite as nice as the ones in the magazine but I bet I will treasure these for years to come more than if I had made them by myself.

We are going to make these at MOPS this week as our craft. We are going to use cut-up grocery bags instead of fabric for the back. They really were fun to make. Hope you are all getting in the thankful state of mind. I know I have 3 little boys that I am thankful for!
