2. Clay Place Cards

@nestbyjess Since it’s officially the start of the holiday season, I’m revisiting my Thanksgiving air dry clay place cards that I made for last year’s holiday tablescape! These personalized name tags were a HUGE hit, and everyone took them home to hang them on their Christmas trees as ornaments and use as stocking tags! I’m planning another fun personalized place card for this year’s Thanksgiving celebrations, and I’m so excited to share it with you soon! 🤫😊 If you’re looking to recreate last year’s place cards, I have the supply list saved to my Linktree! #thanksgivingdecor #thanksgivingtablescape #thanksgiving2024 #airdryclay #handmadegifts ♬ Sweet Nothing – Piano Version – Oyster Lovers

If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, place cards are essential. These clay place cards are such a simple DIY craft that will make your Thanksgiving table feel intentionally designed. All you need is some air-drying clay, small letter stamps, and ribbon. If you’d like, adding a dried orange to the end will elevate the place tag even more.

We’ve never heard of a scented mug mat, but it’s such an adorable idea. Essentially, it’s an essential oil-infused coaster, and when you place your hot mug on top, the fall scent is enhanced. Isn’t that such a unique idea? These would make such adorable gifts for friends and family this Thanksgiving as well.
