I love to make place cards.  They're one of my favorite crafty projects for the holidays. Some oldies from the archives:

I haven't yet decided on what this Thanksgiving's place cards will be.  I feel like it will have some kind of leaf or nature theme.  But, I'm not sure what.  While I'm percolating on that question, I decided to go to pinterest for some inspiration!  Here are a few ideas I really liked:

I hope you're feeling inspired to make some place cards of your own!

Do you incorporate art making into your Thanksgiving holiday?  I'd love to know what you do to make the holiday art-full!  😉

Thanks for stopping by!

  • My Mom made place markers with Scrabble letters and letter trays — that’s what we’ll likely be using for the foreseeable future.
