Bring the colors of nature into your home with this Thanksgiving Centerpiece craft for kids.
What you'll need:
- Striped green and yellow squash
- Yellow and green candles
- Apple corer
- Florists' adhesive clay, optional
- Dried leaves or vines, as desired
How to make it:
- Break off the stalk from the gourds.
- Use an apple corer to make a bigger indentation in the top for a candle.
Note: If the gourd is too hard to do this, get some florists' adhesive clay and use that to hold the candle in the top. - Insert a candle.
- Make a centerpiece with several candleholder gourds and some of the ones (with nice stalks) that you saved.
- Scatter in some fall (dried) leaves or vines, whatever you can find. Use your imagination!
Tips:
Purchase small striped or colorful gourds. There are always lots available in the grocery stores at this time of year. Keep the ones with pretty stems to include without candles.
