Leaf Place Cards Craft
Here's a great way to welcome your guests for Thanksgiving dinner by creating individual leaf place cards for each table setting.
Yield: 1 or more
Cost: $10-$15
Equipment
- Iron
- Paintbrush
Materials
- Leaves from your backyard
- Gold craft paint
- Black sharpie marker
- Pinecones
Instructions
- Pick some leaves from the garden or gather fallen leaves in the shape you like.
- Paint the front and back of the leaves with gold paint.
- Once dry place the leaves between some paper and go over them with a warm iron to flatten.
- Write each guest's name on the front of a leaf.
- Use a pinecone to hold the leaf place card.
- Place the pinecone on the napkin in the center of the plate at the table.
Notes
- I used live leaves but you could use colored leaves that have fallen for the year.
- I like gold but you could easily use a different color of paint. Or don't paint them at all.
- You can place the pinecones above the plate instead of on top.
- You could also use mini pumpkins instead of pinecones. Just make sure that they have a stem and split the stem to hold the leaf.
