Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with some fun Thanksgiving table decorations.
I used my Xyron Creative Station Lite and Xyron Mega Runner along with cut files from
Simply Crafty SVGs for these wonderful decorations.
Let's begin!
I start by cutting The Autumn Takeout Box SVG files on my Brother Scan N Cut CM350. I then inked all the edges of the papers and shapes. I also die cut a few extra leaves to decorate the sides of the box.
I ran all the decorative panels and leaves through the Xyron Creative Station Lite for easy no-mess application.
Next, I layered the decorative panels. I then placed them onto the box fronts.
I then used some Xyron Mega Runner on the inside of the side panels of the box. I pressed them into place. Making sure that the holes line up.
Now, that the box is formed, I add a Pipe Cleaner into the holes and curl the ends to hold. You can put some Xyron Mega Runner for extra hold. I didn't because I want the handles to move. I then decorated the sides with some leaves. One of the leaf from the front cut out panel and a Gold die cut leaf.
Fill your box with goodies (I will be doing this Thanksgiving Morning). Close the box by simply sliding the tab through the slot.
I die cut a fishtail sentiment banner and stamped Happy Thanksgiving along with a few acorns in Memento Dew Drop: Brown Sugar. I then punched a small hole in the corner and tied some DMC floss in a medium Orange. I attached the tag onto the box handle.
Now the box is complete!

Let's begin!
I start by cutting The Pilgrim Hat Box SVG files on my Brother Scan N Cut CM350. I then inked all the edges of the papers and shapes. I also die cut a few extra leaves to decorate the sides of the box. I also ran my hat top panels through the Crafter's Edge Crossover II Die Cutting Machine along with a Fiskars Embossing template - Carpet.
Next, I ran all the leaves through the Xyron 3" Disposable Sticker Maker
To create the bottom of the hatbox I added some Mega Runner adhesive to the side tab and pressed the other panel into place. I then added some Mega Runner adhesive to the other tab and pressed the side into place. I added some more Mega Runner adhesive to the inside of the top tabs and pressed the small hexagon to the inside of the bottom section of the box I just formed. The tabs will be hidden by the circle. I then adhered the hexagon box onto the circle base - making sure to center it.
To create the top of the hat. Simply run some Mega Runner adhesive onto the tab of the section of the hat that has the hexagon top attached to it. Press the other section onto the tab. Next, apply some Mega Runner adhesive onto the tabs and press the Hexagon top down onto the hat form.
To create the band simply apply some Mega Runner adhesive to one of the tabs. Press the other tab onto it.
Slide the buckle onto the band. You can add a bit of Mega Runner Adhesive to the middle bar of the buckle to hold it in place.
Add the decorative leaves to the side of the hat.
Now, the Pilgrim Hat box is complete!
