A Zig-Zag First Thanksgiving Card

In this time of the Coronavirus pandemic, families will not be sharing a Thanksgiving meal because of the virus.  I thought it would be nice to create a Thanksgiving card to send to the people you love.

This card depicts a scene from the First Thanksgiving.  An Indian boy is giving a Pilgrim girl some wampum.  A Pilgrim boy is sharing a wishbone with an Indian girl.  The dog is looking out into the distance at a wild turkey near their home by a pond.  The Mayflower ship is in the background.  The card is 5 inches x 5 1/2 inches.

Card laying flat.

The scenes are glued together to create the First Thanksgiving card.

The scenes are connected in a zig zag design.

The back of the card looks just as good as the front of the card. The back scene has the tab glued first and then the metallic paper is glued on top of it. The oval is centered in the back of the this scene.

I used 65 lb cardstock to make this card. The beige metallic paper is Neenah brand Champagne Pearl 65 lb. card stock from Office Depot.    

Here is the PDF.

Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving!
