Easy Thanksgiving Place Card Holders

Fall· Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is coming up and I’m pretty sure we all start thinking of holiday and entertaining ideas and crafts well ahead of the holidays. Today I’ll show you a really easy way to create unique, modern DIY Thanksgiving place cards that are perfect for your holiday table!

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own DIY Thanksgiving place cards:ClickLinks1

  • Mini Fall Pumpkins and Gourds
  • Americana Decor Chalk Paint (in Lace Cream)
  • Spray Paint Primer (optional)
  • Paint Brushes
  • Jewelry Pliers Set
  • 16 Gauge Wire or Wire Card Holders

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-2 Step 1. Remove the bottom of the pumpkin by using a jewelry wire cutter and grabbing the bottom of the pumpkin and twisting away.

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-3Step 2. Paint your pumpkins. The easiest way is to paint them with a spray primer first for easier painting. When using a primer, it does not matter that it’s fully covered, you just want a thin coat of white all around the pumpkin.

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step 3. Paint the pumpkins with your chalk paint of choice. I wanted a modern, elegant feel so I went with an off-white chalk paint.

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-5Step 4. Once dry, paint the stalks of your pumpkins. You can use gold leaf paint, a gold leafing paint pen, or even spray paint. I was originally going to go with a paint pen, but found it much easier to use gold leaf paint instead.

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-6Optional: You can decorate your white pumpkins with dots, dip them in gold leafing paint or even cover half of them in glitter. I kept mine minimal as I wanted to create elegant pumpkins that I can use every year!Step 5. Next you’ll create the spiral wire holders for your DIY Thanksgiving place cards. Use a round nose plier and a flat nose plier with 16 gauge wire to create them easily. You can also skip this step by purchasing ready-made spiral wire card holders.

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-7Step 6. Insert your wire card holders into the pumpkins by firmly piercing them on the top, just behind the stalks. You are done!

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-8To add a special touch, hand letter your DIY Thanksgiving place cards. You can also print them and use a nice, hand lettered font for a trendy and modern feel.  You can cut your own place cards, or you can purchase some on the Consumer Crafts website as well!

DIY-Thanksgiving-Place-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-9This craft is not only perfect for a Thanksgiving table setting but also great as place card holders for fall weddings and celebrations.
