Christmas is coming with leaps and bounds...
But before Christmas is Thanksgiving.
This DIY Thankful Heart Tree is an easy to create a decoration for the Thanksgiving holiday and then remain on display throughout the Christmas season too.
The hearts are created using book page strips, that are stapled to shape.
The hanger is stapled on too.
A super fun activity for the kids to make.
And while you are folding and stapling your hearts, it's a good time to talk about gratefulness.
My tree is displayed on an upcycled trolley table.
You can find out how I did this HERE.
For Christmas add a
Santa decoration to the vignette as I have here.

The Christmas theme cushion on the chair is pretty cool too...
