Thirty Days of Thanks # 24

Paper Tepee’s
Craft your version of these native homes I spotted on Pinterest. I love the idea of connecting with some of the kinds of homesteads that were endogenous to our lands so long ago. It is a great way to link ourselves with the history of some of the indian cultures that are so relevant to the Thanksgiving story.

To make yours, grab any size and color of paper ( paper grocery bags work great ), scissors, tape, twigs from outside and markers or paint.
Take the paper and fold it from one corner to create a funnel and tape in position, then cut from the wide end to get your desired tepee height. Place the found sticks inside in to poke though the top and tape in position. Now your are ready to draw or paint your scene, making it especially your own. A table with several tepees strewn down it center would make a colorful centerpiece on any thanksgiving table.
