Thanksgiving Table Settings & Such<\/h2>\n

What You’ll Need for a Fun Turkey Day Appetizer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. fruit (strawberries, grapes, a pear, bananas, apple slices, etc.)<\/li>\n
  2. cheese<\/li>\n
  3. crackers<\/li>\n
  4. and\/or pretzels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can really use whatever you and your guests would like.<\/p>\n

    A good way to start the day off is offering your guests a platter of appetizers. With fruit, cheese and crackers you can make a very cute presentation.<\/p>\n

    Take something like half a pear and place it towards the bottom of the plate; this will be the body of the turkey. You can use cheese for the beak and feet. Cloves work well for the eyes. Line up the fruits, cheeses, crackers, etc. in semicircles around the body of the turkey. These will act as feathers.<\/p>\n

    The beautiful glow you’ll get from these mason jar candle holders will add to the warmth of your Thanksgiving meal. Spark & Chemistry<\/a> make it easy to create these with things you already have around the house — including real leaves!<\/p>\n

    You’ll need some empty jars (Ball jars, old sauce jars, whatever you have on hand), real or artificial fall leaves, and mod podge or any glue that will dry clear.<\/p>\n

    Take an empty jar and decoupage leaves onto it, leaving some spaces so that the light can shine through. Add some raffia or ribbon if you’d like, place a votive candle inside and you’re done!<\/p>\n

    How to Spice Up Your Thanksgiving Napkins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    You can use a lot of different things to dress up the place settings with napkins. Do simple settings by tying things like raffia, burlap, ribbon, or a flower (anything you can come up with) around the napkin or silverware. Stick an acorn or leaf in there just to make it a bit more eye catching.<\/p>\n
