Gratitude Tree

It’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, but this Gratitude Tree is a wonderful way to slow down and count your blessings!

DIY Gratitude Tree for Thanksgiving: Easy project for celebrating Thanksgiving, fun mason jar craft too!

As we head into November, I wanted to make a very visual reminder of some of the simple things our family is thankful for.

Thankgiving Crafts

 This is an easy project you can do with your kids– a Gratitude Tree.

Supplies:  Silk Leaves (from dollar bin at Target), twigs, popcorn kernels, glass jar and a sheet of cardstock or construction paper.  Also need a glue gun and (optional) a sewing machine.

Grab your kids and come up with a list of words that describe your family– qualities you strive for and things you like to do together.  Handwrite the words or print them out on cardstock or construction paper.

Cut them out and sew (or use hot glue) to attach them to the leaves

Use the glue gun to attach a “back” leaf as well.

Here are the leave before I attached them to the twigs.  Kind of cute like this too.

 Use the glue gun to randomly attach the leaves to the twigs and “arrange” in corn

    Oh yesterday on Tuesday, how I’ve missed you! Sorry I haven’t been to visit in a while.
    Wow! This is such a great idea, I’m going to work on it with Anika, and make all our guests add to the tree when they come for Thanksgiving!
