DIY Adjustable Chef Apron | Video Tutorial
When it comes to kid’s artwork, the turkey handprint is a staple in classrooms around the United States. We love the idea of treating dad, mom or a grandparent to their very own keepsake apron that will last for seasons to come. Plus, kids will be so proud to see their handmade projects come to life around the kitchen table. This project can be adapted to any season or holiday as well, whether you upload your kid’s artwork (find out how to do that here) or choose an elegant or fun design from the Spoonflower Marketplace. You can even go the extra mile and create a coordinating table runner! So let’s get started on this easy adult apron DIY, and don’t forget to grab the free pattern and share with your friends!
Fire up the grill and get cookin’ with a DIY apron featuring your child’s artwork or a tasty design from the Marketplace.

Handmade Holiday: DIY Feather Wreath
Feathers add an unexpected element to holiday crafts. This DIY turkey feather wreath by Make + Haus goes straight from Thanksgiving into the holidays. If you don't have space for a wreath, stitch up versatile table linens with Luxe Feathers in Plum by Sparrowsong for a sophisticated twist on a traditional table setting.

To start things off, we chose a color palette that we loved and stuck with it. We wanted something different than your typical bright orange & olive green, so we went with a more subtle fig, gold, and cream with lots of natural elements that added great texture.
