You are sooo clever! Creative I mean.....
This should make a really "original" Thanksgiving table centerpiece.
I have some little friends visiting this week so now I have a project for them.
Boys love working in the kitchen if they have something to do and this fits the bill!

Thanks for posting and providing very clear pictures and instructions.
