Turkey Favor Tins - {Tutorial}

Hi everyone, I'm Angie and I'm so excited to be a guest poster here at Between U & Me! Thanks so much, Courtney, for inviting me.

I blog over at Burton Avenue where I love to share simple and inexpensive craft projects. I especially love all things vinyl! I have been blogging almost 4 years, but never really liked sharing craft projects on our family blog. So, earlier this year, Burton Avenue began.

I have been married for 10 years and we have 6 cute little kiddies (9 years and under). They keep me busy! I love blogging because it gives me a chance to take a break from the day to day tasks of being a mom. I also love that it keeps my mind busy and gives me such great motivation.

Since Thanksgiving will be here soon, I want to share a project that is perfect for the big day. I remember when I was little, my mom would always help me make a cute favor to put on the table by each plate. I still enjoy making favors for everyone and here is what I will be making this year-Turkey Favor Tins.

Here is what you'll need to make them:

Card stock (I used 8 different colors)

Googly Eyes

Foam Sticky Tabs

Favor Tins (I got mine at Michaels in the wedding section)

Glue

Distress Ink

First, you'll need to cut out all the pieces. I used my digital cutter, but most of the shapes are pretty simple and can be cut by hand (there's a printable template at the bottom).

After everything is cut, distress the edges.

Next, assemble and glue the face and feathers.

Use the foam tabs to attach a circle to the lid and also the head and feet.

 

Glue the feathers to the back of the tin. Make sure when you stand it up, the edges of the outside feathers touch at the bottom. This keeps your tin from rolling.

Attach the other circle to the back of the tin over the feathers.

Fill with some tasty treats

and put on the lid.

Oh, so cute! Imagine a whole table of these little guys - how fun and festive.

Thanks again for having me. I hope you'll stop by Burton Avenue and visit!
