It's a bummer we are so far from family this year. But the bird and I are working on putting together a friendsgiving to celebrate anyway. So not-to-worry, festivities are still in order, even in Dublin! :)
After scouring the web for creative ideas, I rounded up 5 easy diy crafts to spruce up any Thanksgiving tablescape.
1 // These mini rosemary wreaths can be used to wrap napkins, as a garland and as place cards.
2 // Use cranberry filled bags (or vases, bowls, etc...) for centerpieces.
3 // I love these pine scraps, cinnamon sticks and twine wrapped napkin rings.
4 // Gold mini pumpkins can be used as place cards, or centerpieces by filling tall vases with them.
5 // These Thanksgiving placemats have been seen everywhere, but I love the idea and look of them!
I also found this Thanksgiving Playlist for both food & tablescape prep and background dinner music.
I love love love this playlist–so many songs that are already favorites! And those napkin rings have been on my radar for a bit, they go perfectly with the "rustic" holiday decor I favor!
ReplyDeleteNumber 4 is my fave! I did a guest post yesterday with pears for place cards, but I really wanted pumpkins. It's so pretty!
