How to Make a Pop-Up Turkey Card

Bikin kartu ucapan seperti ini aah :)

via How to of the Day on 11/22/11

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to celebrate and give thanks. A time of families getting together and enjoying a holiday dinner, it can be a fitting tribute to the Thanksgiving spread to be able to include turkey designed pop-up cards on the table with the name of the family member, the date, and a few words to fit the occasion, and place on the table to show each where they will be seated.

This can serve as a wonderful way to say welcome, and each card can become a memento by which to remember this Thanksgiving day for years to come.
