The table is ready, the bird is in the oven, you've got 30 minutes and decide you need to make place cards! Has this ever happened to you? It did for me a few years ago. Before Pinterest was around, I'd seen these really cute and funky turkey hats/place cards from a website called Kate's Paperie. They are a stationary store in New York City and every season, they share a few different paper crafts to share. I'd made things from the site before and when I saw this project, I filed it away, hoping I'd have time before my out of town guests arrived. I knew my mom and dad would probably sport the turkey as a hat, but I was sure my grandmother would prefer the place card function. I also knew they'd be pretty easy to put together, and I was right. Once you get in the groove, you can create a number of turkeys in 30 minutes, I made 8 in that amount of time. I used papers I had on hand, but wanted to show how our Generations line looks all dressed up as a turkey:
First thing you do is print off the pattern from the website. Then use a removable adhesive to attach the pattern to your papers. Our Generations line is perfect for Thanksgiving festivities, don't you think? The pattern has directions printed directly on the paper, all you need are scissors, a scoring board, and some liquid adhesive.
Follow the directions and you've got a gaggle of holiday birds directing your guests to their spot at the table!

Hi just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

There are some attention-grabbing deadlines in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There's some validity but I'll take hold opinion till I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we wish extra! Added to FeedBurner as well
