DIY Thanksgiving Tablescapes

Nov 29

The rest of my house might be decorated for Christmas, but Thanksgiving still needs some love! I made a couple easy DIY tablescapes for our Thanksgiving this year and added the steps to recreate them below:

Step 1: Gather all your greenery. These were all leftover peices we had from other projects, parties, etc. If you wanted to purchase any fall florals right before thanksgiving is the time. Everything is 80% off. They basically give it away.

Step 2: Measure your table and plan to give a foot of space on both ends. Add your first string of greenery in an S pattern. I stapled mine right on to a scrap peice of wood we had lying around.

Step 3: Add in a second string of greenery in an S pattern going the opposite direction. I weaved mine over and under the first one.

Step 4: Add in extra leaves. I used ones that had fallen off old florals we had and from the stems on our Christmas tree.

Step 5: Add in flowers (if you have them). This part isnt necessary since centerpeices sometimes consist of only different types of greenery, but I found a lot of extra flowers so I threw ‘em on there. Why not? I added them in where I thought the leaves looked less full or you could see some of the wood base.
