Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and by now, you probably have your menu all planned out. However, don’t forget your table decorations! While you could put together an elaborate centerpiece, there are also plenty of clever ways to make a statement without spending a lot of time on a DIY project. Here are a few nice centerpiece ideas from Good Housekeeping which won’t be too much of a hassle for you to make at the last minute.
- Use a pumpkin as a vase and put fresh cut flowers in it.
- Put unshelled nuts, like almonds, chestnuts, or walnuts, in a glass candle holder to hold short candles in place. Wrap a ribbon around the bottom of the holder for an extra festive look.
- If you have a long table, weave an ivy garland between an eclectic mix of gourds and pumpkins.
- Cut out the tops of some apples and use them as candle holders for votive candles.
- For a rustic look, use different sizes of Mason jars filled with small pine cones, dried wheat, and leaves
