Thanksgiving Favors

This is a Thanksgiving craft I did a few years ago as favors for the table. I wanted something earthy and rustic.

I used:
rocks
brown paper grocery bags
letter stamps and stamppads
Fall or Thanksgiving stickers
string
gold and/or copper acrylic paint
small eyelets

Find or buy rocks and clean if necessary. Tear narrow strips of the brown paper bag, leaving slightly ragged edges and making each long enough to go around each rock, with enough overlap to glue in back. To soften the paper strips, crinkle and rub it against itself to make it less stiff. Flatten and use a dark stamp ink of desired color to stamp words onto the strip. If you wish, brush or sponge some gold or copper paint or stamping ink along the edges of the strips.

Set a brad into a corner of the chosen sticker. See the brad package for instructions. Get a brad in a size that will fit the string you have chosen. Tie the string around the rock and through the brad in the sticker and tie tightly. Glue the stamped brown paper bag strip around rock over the string.
