Easy Thanksgiving Table Decorations

Filed Under Holidays, Home |

Looking for an easy way to make your table sparkle for the holidays? This is a very easy, beautiful idea that can easily be turned into a Christmas theme after Thanksgiving.

Start by filling two to six column vases (depending on how long your table is) with pine cones. This idea looks best with a mix a small and large pine cones, but can be arranged with either. If you live in a warmer climate you may not have pine cones lying around your backyard, don’t worry, any arts and crafts store will have them.

Next, you’ll need votive candles in either white, red or orange (an pumpkin or spice scent make this idea even more delicious). Place each votive in it’s own glass container, small cut bowls will catch the light of the candle and create a beautiful reflection on the table, or for a more modern look choose a simple glass votive holder. Finally you will need a bag of fall leaves, available at any crafts store.

Place the column vases filled with pine cones lengthwise on the table. Arrange a votive candle in between each column and one on each end (votive, vase, votive, vase, votive). Sprinkle the fall leaves lengthwise along the table, weaving them in and out of the votive candles and pillars.

For a more elegant touch add a porcelain place card holder and place card at each setting. Check back next week for easy ideas on how to turn this turkey day decor into a gorgeous Christmas table!
