I love shopping after the holidays, because they always have their themed merchandise on sale.
My latest finds have been the adorable square tissue boxes that had a slightly Halloween theme…really, they just had some orange in them.
At 75% off, I quick snatched them up.
And what is one to do with a slightly Halloween themed tissue box near Thanksgiving?
Turn it into a Thanksgiving Turkey Tissue Box, of course!
The kiddos and I whipped out the construction paper and glue and got to work to create about six of these to put around the house.
Super easy, super cute, and definitely Thanksgiving-themed.
Here’s how we did it!
