Equipment

Ingredients

  • Fall leaves (or you could use fake ones)
  • Large clothespins
  • Small googly eyes
  • Orange paper

Instructions

  • Start by using Elmer's Craft Glue to adhere the eyes to the clothes pin. Make sure the clamp part of the clothespin is facing up, so you can pinch your place card there.

  • Cut a small square of orange craft paper for the beak, and use Elmer's Craft Glue to adhere.

  • Use an Elmer's CraftBond Hot Glue Gun for the leaves. This glue dries quickly so all three layers of leaves can be done right away. Plus, the CraftBond and special glue reduce the stringy mess that other glue guns make.

  • And that's it! Write or print out your guests names and clamp them in the clothes pins. The larger clothespins stand easily on their own and are perfect for these turkey place card holders.
