自制感恩节装饰是一件简单又有趣的事。您只需要一些色纸、蜡笔和想象力即可。当您选择材料做装饰品时,有一些事要牢记在心。因为感恩节是秋天的节日,所以要用像是金色、红色、橘色和深绿色等色彩。秋天也是收割的季节。因此您可以利用南瓜、玉米或其它蔬菜作装饰。最重要的是,记得要有火鸡!火鸡图片、雕塑品和鸡毛都是必备品。
经典的自制感恩节装饰是手形火鸡。它们很容易做。首先,在一张白纸上描出您的手。接着将四只手指着色,让它们看起来像羽毛一样。记得要用很多种颜色。然后在大姆指的地方做个眼睛,并把身体涂成棕色。接着把您的火鸡剪下来。用橘色色纸做出脚和鸡喙。把脚黏在您的手形火鸡底下。最后把鸡喙黏在大姆指处,以完成火鸡的脸。您就做好了!若您想要的话,可以帮火鸡加上帽子、亮片或衣服,让它看来更特别。
当您自制装饰品时,要发挥创意。您每年都可重复使用最漂亮的饰品。自制饰品不仅有趣,也是一个可以跟您的好友和家人一起做的绝佳活动。
