Fall is a time for slowing down, enjoying incredible weather and time with friends! This year we started a couple of new family traditions. Today we are going to show you how to create this adorable fall, Thankful Bucket Garland. This project is perfect for creating an interactive way for your family and friends to express their thanks and gratitude during this Thanksgiving season. Simply leave little notes of thanks and gratitude in the sweet buckets!
What a perfect way to celebrate the season of fall! Each little bucket can be filled with little notes on what you and your family are thankful for!
Let's get started with the thankful bucket garland tutorial....
Supplies Needed for Thankful Bucket Garland...
Adhesive Hooks
Chocoalte Brown Extra Fine Glitter
Simply stretch out your two twig garlands and attach to your mantel. We used adhesive hooks. You will need to play around with the loops in the garland to get the look you want. We wired some of the loops together to get the garland to hang the way we wanted...
Take your two leaf garlands and wind them through the twig garlands. Don't worry about bare spaces, we will take care of that in another step...
Apply the glitter to your chipboard letters { THANKFUL } using the Martha Stewart Glitter Glue and allow to dry. While they are drying, trace some leaf shapes or use a die cut machine to cut out leaf shapes out of your burlap. Glue the burlap leaf shapes to the front of the buckets with your glue gun...
Look how sweet all your buckets are after attaching all the letters with your glue gun...
Next, attach the buckets to the garland with the clothes pins...
Attach leaves with your glue gun on the twig garland where you have some bare spots...this is the fun part where you can make it your own! We also added a few burlap leaves to the garland as well...
That is it! Now your mantel is ready for the fall with this fall thankful bucket garland and what a special way to celebrate with your family!
A perfect accent for my fall decor!
We just love this time of year and hope that you can start some new family traditions with your own family and friends this year. Did you catch our other new tradition... our little "Thankful Turkey"? We would love for you to check him out!
