\u00a0So, while you are cooking up the bird next week, have the kids make these for the table. \u00a0It will give them something to do.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

roll. \u00a0Next you select the paper that you are going to use. \u00a0Wrapping paper, decoupage paper, or scrap book paper would all work. \u00a0We used a gold and white decoupage paper. \u00a0Cut the paper so that it will fit around the roll.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-20862\"

\u00a0Be sure to smooth out any creases and seal the edges with some more modge podge. \u00a0Apply another coat of modge podge, and let it dry well. \u00a0(If they are being made on Thanksgiving morning, I would skip the extra coat to make sure they dry well.)<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter
