today i have yet another variation of my wooden pilgrims using the tall pilgrims from the saltbox studio set give thanks. this time, i gave them corn and a pumpkin to more closely mimic my real corn husk and wood ones. to help place the veggies in their hands, i cut along the arm lines of both pilgrims. for the woman, i added additional snips at elbow length and gently folded her arms in to meet the corn in the middle. for the man, i simply tucked the pumpkin under his arms, covering the gaps where the arms had been. both are stuck on with rolled up mini glue dots for just a little dimension. the pumpkin is from the fall banner set and the corn is taken from the mouse in kid's table--cut down a bit from it's original size.
here's a look at the pilgrims--pretty close likeness, i think!
