For our Thanksgiving garland craft, we decided to let each family member design their own character for the garland pattern. Then place each one on string in a pattern.
For the leaf, we folded the paper in half like a card and cut leaves out on the fold. This allows you to simply fold the leaf over the string to attach it.
The little owl and turkey are glued on with tacky glue, but hot glue (no waiting) works great too. To give it a sensory issue when working with little ones, tacky glue is more tactile and safe, but if you are in a hurry or don't want to make a mess, hot glue works best.
