Thanksgiving Pilgrim Hat Place Card Holders using Recycled K-Cups

I love to make special place settings for holidays- and it helps me gently communicate to my guests where I’d like everyone to sit. And with these Pilgrim Hat Place Card Holders for Thanksgiving, I can recycle AND share a little after-dinner candy, too! How fun is that?

I was inspired by the Frosty Hat Ornaments I made last year. But for this version, I wanted to make it really kid-friendly & extra “recycle-y.” (Is that a word? It is now.)

Here’s your supply list: (Amazon affiliate links included.Feel free to use them or not, but if you do- THANK YOU because those pennies I make as an affiliate mean I can keep creating content & keep the website running.)

Individual coffee cups- “K-Cups” (I bet you know someone who has one of these & will save them for you!
Brown felt
Recycled soda pop tabs
white glue
black cardstock
paperclips
scissors or craft knife
wrapped candy
Black Paint Markers or spraypaint, if you have an adult doing this part.

I was thrilled to share this segment on Hands On Crafts for Kids- take a look!

Pro Tip: If you are working with the little kids, the paint markers or tempera paints are the way to go. But if you are making an TON of these and/or want a more professional look, have an adult spray paint the K-Cups in advance.

Now if you like this one, you also may like the Frosty Hat Ornaments I made last year. Same idea, different spin.
