Don't fret that it's the last minute to set your Thanksgiving table!
Even if you've waited for the last minute to prepare your Thanksgiving Table, it's not too late to pull it together. Use the offerings of Mother Nature to create a memorable tablescape on a financial and time budget.
Borrow some dried leaves and flower heads from your backyard, making sure to leave the stems and branches intact. Use a clear vase --- size and shape are optional. Place enough natural colored stones in the bottom of the vase so that the dried plant stems will be held securely. Begin to layer the plants, pushing the stems in between the rocks so that the branches are secured. You'll want to cut the stems to varying lengths before securing them in the rocks, to create the most attractive and interesting display.
Finish the floral display with a thick band of raffia tied around the vase, and center the vase on your table. Scatter additional loose leaves in the prettiest harvest colors on your table, and distribute tea lights amongst the leaves.
Enjoy your natural display and get ready to reap the compliments on your ingenuity!
