 Have your kids help you decorate and set the table this Thanksgiving, by having them create this unique and easy craft. These thumbtack place card holders are so cute, and original. This is such an easy and affordable craft to make. Most supplies you can find at your local craft and dollar store. The creator of this craft is one of our good blogger friends, Megan, from the Brassy Apple. She makes wonderful and unique crafts. I love that to top of this project Megan used some glitter paint from the new Martha Stewart paint line. Click here to learn how to make this craft. These place card holders will be a perfect addition to any Thanksgiving table.

Teaching Thursdays: Festive Fall Clips
Festive Fall Clips by Candie Cooper. To see more crafts from Candie check out her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal.
You know we love any chance to use paint and glitter over here on the Plaid Kids Blog! There are so many cute wood shapes at the craft store, I had to add some to my stash. Today, I finally figured out what I wanted to do with them---clips for chip bags, gifts, school papers, hair bands and what not. My favorite part is you can make this project for next to nothing! Read on for ideas and to see how to make them...
You'll need wood shapes in desired theme, paint brush, Folk Art paints, Extreme Glitter, thick glue, wiggly eyes, clothespins and Mod Podge OR Folk Art Acrylic Varnish.
 Base coat the wood pieces in whatever color you like. Now for the fun part---embellishing! Sponge painting is so fun. Try it with a sea sponge or stencil spouncer to make polka dots like on the pumpkin down below.
 Seal all the surfaces with a coat of Mod Podge or Folk Art Glossy Varnish. This makes them look really good!
 Glue a clothespin on the back. You could add a magnet to the clothespin and put it on the fridge for artwork and school papers too!
 For some sparkle, add a coat of Extreme Glitter. This leaf got a coat of gold. So pretty! I used Mod Podge to attach the eyes on the little acorn. Use a liner brush and red paint to make a mouth for the acorn too.
 And now you can clip them to anything! Doesn't this bag of granola look so much more fun with a pumpkin clip?
 Here's an idea for a gift basket with them clipped onto napkins, a box of candles and soup. With Christmas baking on the way, you could whip these up as gifts, using them as closures on bags of cookies.
 This little fella is so sweet. I just wanted to leave you with a smile! Thanks for stopping by!
