We are SO past Thanksgiving in Canada, but here’s a little tip for y’all (will work at Christmas too). The easiest centerpieces in the world are those centered on food ingredients. Here’s a few things we’ve done. Not that I have pictures or anything. Yeesh. Lower your expectations people.
- Apples, mini-pumpkins, and gourds. With the top stem part cut out leaving enough room to squish in a tea light. Push it down enough that the tea light container is hidden in the apple. Place several apples around the center of the table, and have the kids find some fall colored leaves to scatter at the bottom of them.
- Cranberries, evergreens, tea lights: these little fellows float – fresh or frozen. So it is very pretty to get some glass dessert bowls, sugar bowls, vases, or glass bread pans and fill them a couple inches high with water. gather some evergreen branches to pop in the bottom. Scatter some whole cranberries along the top. And then use tea lights, remove the tea light container, and they’ll turn into floating tea lights. Just don’t get water on top of the candle. Ha!
Happy American Thanksgiving!
