Thanksgiving centerpiece Archives

The other day I popped into Paper Source to pick up some of the wood leaves they sell for a gift wrapping project. As I usually do when I go to Paper Source, I spent some time wandering around checking out all the cool stuff they have.

Most of you probably think of Paper Source as just a gift wrapping and packaging supply store but I’m here to tell you they have so many other cool items.

As I wandered around the store I kept coming across items I thought would work great as part of a Thanksgiving table setting. I was so inspired I decided to pull together an inspiration board showing you how I’d use gift wrap, gift items and crafting supplies to set a table.

Paper Source inspired Thanksgiving table setting:

I love using wrapping paper as a table runner and this Multi Stem Flower Wrapping Paper is the perfect color and pattern for a festive Thanksgiving table.

This Burlap Wreath Kit will make a pretty centerpiece and you’ll get to do a little crafting when you make it. Add a glass hurricane in the center to great a beautiful candle centerpiece.

I fell in love with these Wooden Fall Leaves when I saw them on-line and after seeing them in person I think they’d make great coasters for your fall table. Coat each leave with Mod Podge to seal the surface.

Every beautiful table needs pretty candle holders. The Peony and Rose Vanilla Candle in this chic gold chevron glass jar will add an elegant touch to your table.

Another great use for wrapping paper is to cut it into squares and use it as a place mat alternative. This Thick Cherry Wood Paper is ideal to use on the table and adds a rustic touch to the decor.

Taking a color cue from the paper runner, these Mint Patterned Napkins are the perfect color and pattern accent against the gold and brown elements on the table.

To make a simple napkin ring for your table just wrap one of these Thanksgiving Scallop Oval Stickers around each rolled napkins on the table.

So what do you think of this fun tablescape? Paper Source has a ton of great product so the next time you’re in the store take a look around and see what you can create.

Hi there and Happy Saturday

I haven’t had any time this week to pull together links for my Weekend Reads post because I’ve been busy holiday decorating for clients. So instead I thought I share with you a few images of what me and my elves have been up to.

You may have seen this Thanksgiving centerpiece that I created for a client on instagram. For Thanksgiving we were going for lots of layers, texture and depth….

After their big Thanksgiving dinner, I went back and simplified the centerpiece for a more intimate Christmas party they are having.

I used a lot of the same floral stems and added ornaments, berry clusters and sparkly copper ribbon pieces. The silver tray will hold a grouping of copper candles.

I’m participating in the Oh, hello friend Holiday Advent Swap and created these festive gift bags to hold the items I’m sending my swap partner Taylor. The decorative pennant papers you see on the outside of each bag is actually a gift tag I incorporated into the design. Taylor can pull these tags off and use them in the future for gift giving.

This is a part of a staircase garland I created for a client. I love the look of the mixed greens and the oversized bow and ornament cluster.

This beautiful mantle garland mixes faux greens with magnolia leave and wide plaid ribbon. My client is hosting 4 holiday parties so I’ll be changing out the magnolia leaves often to keep the look fresh.

Here’s a look at another home I decorated. The color scheme is a mix of gold, copper, bronze and wine. And of course a little animal print thrown into the mix.

Up close detail of the tree…we used different ribbons to create bows around the tree which helps to punch up the design.

And one of my elves decked out this chandelier with a bevy of beautiful ornaments.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks but there’s still more decorating to do. Plus I’ve got to finish the décor at my homestead.

I’ll be back next week with lots of holiday diy projects and a look at my holiday décor.

Until then,

Merry, Merry!
