Thanksgiving Place Settings

This year I am in charge of decorating for Thanksgiving...no pressure right? As excited I was to receive this assignment, I was a little nervous as well.

If you haven't noticed yet, it is quite apparent that I am a "thrift seeker." My crafts usually consist of things I have laying around the house or items from the dollar store. I didn't go to the dollar store today for my Thanksgiving decor, but I came pretty close.

I bought the table cloth, paper plates, and napkins at Wal-Mart for $1.50 per pack. I used scrapbook paper from Michaels (.44 cents) as my placemats and a fat quarter of fabric ($1.00) as the napkin rings. I gathered a few leaves from the parking lot and got a gold gel pen to write on them.

I used my fall decor for the center piece and made these favors as name place settings. After all was said and done I spent under $30.00 on the entire presentation. Not bad right? I'm sure our friends will not be paying much attention to the decorations anyway...the food is the most important part of the day. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
