Pilgrim Hat Centerpiece, Candles and Party Favors
If you can cut & glue, this is the perfect project for your Thanksgiving dinner decorations.
The base of each one of the pilgrim hats is a simple clay pot and the hat brims are circles of foam core boards that are cut to fit perfectly on the rim of the pots when glued on.
I popped a pot of white daisy mums in the big one for a centerpiece.
The candles are pushed into foam and then tufts of tulle are poked around them.
The favors are circles of tulle filled with candy corn and tie up in a bow.
Super simple, and simple fun!
Here's what you'll need:
Clay Pots
Black Spray Paint
Black foam board
Pencil
Compass
Craft knife
Metallic Silver Scrapbook Paper
Grey Felt
Steps for the centerpiece:
- Spray paint the clay pot black, let dry completely.
- Turn the pot upside down on foam board. Trace around the rim, then set aside. Use a compass to draw a line 4 inches from the traced circle.
- Cut around the outside circle with a craft knife, being careful to cut a nice, smooth edge.
- Cut out the inside circle, 1/2-inch smaller than the traced line. If you plan to use the pot as a cupcake tray instead of a flowerpot, don’t cut out the center hole.
- Glue the brim to the top of the pot.
- Cut out a buckle from silver scrapbook paper.
- Cut grey felt and thread through the buckle and glue around the rim of the pot.
Make the other pots the same way, only smaller.
Have fun!
