Quick Thanksgiving Centerpieces

These were quick and easy centerpieces that I made to decorate the tables at Thanksgiving.
Materials
 $1.00 pails from the Target dollar aisle
pieces of styrofoam
glue gun
old yarn or moss
autumn color artificial flowers
Fall pack of scrapbook paper

1. Cut a small cube of styrofoam to fit inside each pail.
2. Put a dab of hot glue at the bottom.
3. Select the scrapbook design you want to use. Cut out design and wrap around pail. Put a tiny bit of hot glue to attach paper.
4. Insert artificial flower
5. Use old yarn or moss to cover the white styrofoam cube. I used some yarn I had lying around because I was out of green moss.
6. I cut out a tiny saying and taped it to the handle of each pail.

Quick and Easy Christmas Pins

So I was at Dollar Tree last week and I saw these cute claymation kind of mini ornaments. The 4 pack was $1.00. So I bought a couple of packs. Then I bought the bar pins at Michaels. All you have to do is center the bar pin on the back of the ornament, then peel and stick. Then cut off the fish line loop at the top. That's it your little Christmas pin is done. This is a quick, cheap and easy little trinket that you can give to others during the holidays. I was also thinking that depending on the pin, you could use a black sharpie and add the person's name if you wanted to.   Also, to make the pins more secure you can glue gun the bar pins to the back of the ornament instead of peel and stick. But the peel and stick is great for a kids project. I'm planning to hand these out at the school Christmas party. Maybe I'll create some sort of stand to display them. I haven't decided.  In total I think the total cost per pin is 26 cents.
