Lughnasadh Placemats

Supplies
  • Leaves, seedpods, small sticks
  • Wax Paper
  • Iron

    Go for a "nature walk", and collect various leaves, seedpods, and small sticks. Take one piece of wax paper (any size you want), and place the items on this piece. Take another piece of wax paper, same size, and lay this carefully over the first piece. Iron the two pieces together. (Adult supervision required!) These clear placemats also look nice hung in windows.



    Harvest Napkin Rings

    -by AmberSkyfire

    You Will Need:
  • construction paper
  • scisors
  • pencil
  • glue
  • napkins (paper or cloth)
  • ruler (optional)
  • hole punch (optional)

    Cut out strips of paper about 1 inch wide and long enough to fit around your napkins when they are rolled up (about 5 inches long should do it). Using the pencil, draw harvest designs in colored construction paper and cut them out. You can make pumpkins using orange paper for the pumpkin and green for the stem or corn cobs using different colors punched out with a hole punch and string for the cornsilk. Once you have made as many harvest pictures as you will need, glue each picture into the center of the strips that you cut at the beginning. Wrap the ends of the ring around the napkin and glue in place.



    Harvest Corn Cob

    Make a Thanksgiving corn decoration out of paper and popcorn! An easy group craft to make.

    What You Need
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Popcorn kernels
  • Popped popcorn
  • Yellow and green construction paper or printed pattern and crayons to color it
  • Making your Corn Collage

    Step 1 - Make the Corn Picture
    Cut out a corn cob shape from yellow construction paper and cut out some leaves from green construction paper. You might find it easiest to cut out the corn cob, then lay it on the green paper, then draw the leaves, then cut them out. You can glue the finished shape to thin cardboard if you want to make it sturdier.

    Step 2 - Attach the corn
    Put glue all over the corn cob section, the glue unpopped or popped corn (or both) to the cob.
