1. Kraft Paper Runner
I love, love, love the simplicity and character of this design. Nothing makes your guests feel more welcome than a personalized place setting and this one is top notch. It’s even great for the kids table, especially if you supply them with their own crayons to color after dinner.

3. Nature’s Harvest
This centerpiece is perfect if you will be hosting a large crowd this Thanksgiving and have a long table. If you’ve got a handy man around (or maybe you’re pretty confident with a drill yourself!), then drag a fallen tree limb in the house. Drill out some holes for tea lights, and then surround the branch with leaves and pumpkins. This is a one of a kind piece and you may already have all the accessories you need!

4. Table of Thanks
No matter your table design, this idea will go with any style. Many people discuss things they are thankful for around the table before eating their Thanksgiving meal, so why not create a “I Am Thankful For” placemat they can write it on? You can print on any color and style of paper to coordinate with your table. Guests will appreciate the ability to reflect on their many blessings.

5. Wooden Box Centerpiece
I love the idea of this piece because once you have a box, you can completely customize it for any time of the year! The designer of this particular piece crafter her own, but you can easily use a planter or flower box if you aren’t that handy. All you need to do is add some Spanish moss, candles other festive berries and accessories you can find for a few bucks at any craft store. Beautiful!

7. Something For The Kids
If you have a big family, chances are you have a kids Thanksgiving Table. They’ve come a long way since I was a kid, where we were relegated to the folding card table with cheapy chairs. These days, moms go all out, like the table in the photo above. You can create a space your kids won’t mind sitting at, much less eating! Kraft paper, crayons and snacks are all it takes to make the ultimate kids table.
