General Information

These days, it seems everyone has a favorite version of a Thankful Tree, or jar, or some other way to show gratitude around Thanksgiving. I love the idea of chalkboard! You can use it over and over again, kids can do it, and it’s super trendy right now. ;)

Gather Materials

For a nice clean finish, lightly sand the edges to clean up any small chips.

DONE!

Almost done! Just head outside and gather some sticks, put them in a vase, attach some string to the leaves to hang with.

Ask your family or friends what they are thankful for and write it on the leaves with a chalk or a chalkboard marker!
