Turkey Treat Boxes

 We are looking forward to our Thanksgiving meal with our precious family! How about you? It's a crazy time and many people aren't able to get together this year. Our group is small, but very close and I'm so thankful we can still make it work. 

I thought I would take a minute and share these turkey treat boxes that I made for my grands last year. The box is from Design Space. It's called a "fry box". After cutting the box, I ran it through my cuddle bug to make it look like feathers. The eyes are two different circle punches. I cut a few feathers from various patterned paper scraps in different colors,  then free handed a gobble and beak. If you don't like the idea of free-handing, you could easily use a triangle for the beak and enlarge and stretch a comma for the gobble. Remember you can stretch and morph the shapes. Get creative! 

Kids aren't always very excited about turkey and all the fixings, so these little peanut butter Ritz crackers gave them something fun to snack on.

Hope you enjoy your family this week!! We all have much to be thankful for...even in 2020.

Thanksgiving Treats

Here's a super quick little treat box I made for my grandchildren so they would have something to eat for Thanksgiving dinner other than their roll and deviled egg! Seriously, though, I wish they liked more things, but it's pretty typical of kids and even many adults that I know.

I think they turned out pretty cute! I filled them with mini peanut butter crackers and Goldfish.

Everything was cut with images I found in Design Space. I used the fry box and scored it myself (I need one of those scoring blades), then ran it through my embossing machine to make it look like feathers. The feathers were cut with various scraps I had, and  I used circle and triangle shapes for the eyes and nose. I found a gobble on a turkey image, ungrouped it, and sized it for my turkey face. Really pretty simple and pretty darn cute. It doesn't stand up especially well, but that doesn't bother me.

Hope your Thanksgiving is blessed with family, food, and fun! Take time to be grateful and count all of your blessings!
