More Ideas for Thanksgiving Centerpices and Table Settings
If you had a garden during the summer, you might have some pumpkins,
gourds or squash that you can use. Branches of autumn leaves or a basket
of brightly colored apples can also add beauty to your holiday table.
You can create a centerpiece out of your natural materials by using a
vase or bowl. A hollowed out pumpkin or squash can also be used as a
bowl to create a beautiful centerpiece arrangement. Or, simply place a
table runner down the center of the table so that you have a place to
display your decorative items. Of course, you\'ll want to reserve plenty
of space for the bowls of food and the turkey platter which are usually
the centerpiece of any Thanksgiving dinner. You can also highlight your
table decorations by using natural materials in other ways around the
dining room and kitchen, such as piling miniature pumpkins in a wicker
basket or bundling wheat stalks together to adorn a
buffet.
Choosing Decorative Holiday Table
Linens
Table linens are commonly used to add
a decorative touch to a holiday table. You can either purchase a
tablecloth with a holiday theme, or create one of your own. If you have
a plain tablecloth, you can use fabric paints and stencils to create a
beautiful holiday pattern. If you have children, let them make small
handprints on the tablecloth using paint. Then, add eyes, beaks and feet
to transform the handprints into small hand-painted turkeys. This can be
a great way of letting children participate in the holiday decorating.
You can also use placemats instead of a tablecloth if desired,
decorating them in a similar fashion. You can set the paint with a warm
iron and a pressing cloth to make the designs more durable for
laundering.
Designing a Beautiful Holiday
Place Setting
Thanksgiving is the perfect
time to pay a little more attention to individual place settings at the
table. Bring out your best dishes and good silverware for the occasion.
If you have cloth napkins, use them. Dress up your holiday table by
using napkin rings and place cards. If you don't already have napkin
rings, make your own by painting plain wooden rings or braiding circles
out of twine or raffia. Beautiful autumn leaves can be used instead of
paper place cards. Choose colorful leaves that are still soft and
supple. Gently wash and dry them, then use a fine-tipped permanent
marker to write names on each leaf, creating place cards with plenty of
natural beauty without spending a dime.
