Thanksgiving ornament wreath from Halloween ‘leftovers’ — put a little turkey on it

Thanksgiving wreathWhen planning to make my three spooktacular Halloween ornament wreaths, I bought enough goodies to ensure some extras since constructing these decorative wreaths is easier when you have oodles of its and bits to choose from. I’ve always been a member of the clean plate club — waste not, want not, right? — so I found a way to use all the non-ghoulish ‘leftovers’ from Halloween to make this charming Thanksgiving wreath. 

Thanksgiving wreathI used every last leftover ornament, gourd and leaf to get this wreath covered, just barely having enough to get this wreath covered. Pam has annointed me a princess in the kingdom of the high-heat glue gun!

Thanksgiving wreathThe only addition not part of my original Halloween wreath goodies is this little turkey, which was in a box with my non Christmas holiday decor. I’ve had this little turkey for probably 15 years. Mom and I picked him up at a craft store, and he has been a humorous addition to the Thanksgiving table decor — at Mom’s house and then mine — ever since then. I think he likes his new home!

Let’s see, now we have Christmas wreaths — [vintage ornaments; new ornaments; EZ-wreaths; corsage wreaths], Halloween wreaths, Thanksgiving wreaths — what’s next?
