Thanksgiving Leaf Place Cards
Bring a natural element to your Thanksgiving table with easy-to-make printable leaf place cards. Type names on a colorful leaf printable or simply write them by hand then cut out and glue to twigs.
Small wood slices purchased from your local craft store provide a base in which to place the twigs. You can use corks but they’re not quite as sturdy.
Making a hole in the wood isn’t difficult. Place a Phillips screwdriver—not a flat one—in the center then tap it with a hammer to get the hole started. With a little pressure and a few twists, that sharp point will have the hole ready in no time.
Twigs can be delicate so use a light touch when assembling these unique place cards.
