Martha Mondays: Thanksgiving Table Setting


Monday's project was to select one of these beautiful ideas Martha Stewart has for decorating your Thanksgiving table. I chose the first idea, Pear Place Cards, and tailored it to my own liking. I chose to use little Pink Lady apples that were available at Whole Foods.I made a leaf shape out of white card stock, but I'm thinking gold might have been a better choice if I'd had it. With a fine-tipped Sharpie I wrote names on each leaf.After punching a hole in the leaves, I attached them with some fine gold wire that my husband uses for tying flies (much to his chagrin.) This was a really easy place card idea and very cute. My kids will love to sit down with a little apple all their own in front of them. Now . . . if I can just decide on a menu for the big day!

Those are so cute. We usually do a buffet so I had to cross placecards off the list from the beginning. Love what you did.
