Thanksgiving Centerpiece Tutorial – "Give Thanks"

May 30, 2017November 23, 2011

Here’s a great guest post from Iris on how to create a Thanksgiving Centerpiece with step by step instructions.

One of my favorite holidays is just around the corner… Thanksgiving! It is a perfect holiday to get together as a family and have a wonderful feast with yummy food and to go around the table and talk about what we are grateful for. We are extremely blessed as a family and I think it is important that our children know how blessed they are too. It is interesting to hear what they are thankful for. This year my five-year-old son told me that he is thankful for his family and his toys.

To remind us to give thanks, I created a cute display that is currently sitting nicely on our buffet table, but will make a perfect centerpiece for the kids’ table during Thanksgiving dinner.
