The Thanksgiving table.  memories get made around this table. Delicious meals filled with cranberries and sweet potatoes and turkey. Putting together a Thanksgiving table doesn’t have to be difficult. Place cards add a nice elegant touch to any table and are easy and inexpensive to make.

Usually place cards contain the person’s name but I decided to something a little different with a simple “give thanks”

I used cardstock, a Tombow dual brush pen and a gold paint pen.

Cut your cardstock to whatever size you want.  I suggest a size close to 4×3.

Next, sketch out your design in pencil. If you are really good a hand lettering, you can freehand it but I’m kind of a perfectionist and haven’t mastered my freehanding skills yet.

The final step is to go over your pencil lines with a brush marker or a gold paint pen.  I really love the shimmer of the gold.

Tie your napkin in the center with a string and place your Thanksgiving place card over it. Take some time to really be grateful for all that you have.

What are YOU thankful for this holiday?
