Here is our doll size Thanksgiving table decorations this year.
Let’s go through them.
This time around a lot of the decorations are thrift store finds upcycled for our Thanksgiving decor. Like Mr. Turkey here, who is spritely sitting atop a real mini pumpkin.
This is one of a few platter/tray/cake stands we have. It is an upcycled item that I’m not sure what its purpose was before. I added the large canning lid to make it work as a tray. I love the wrought iron detail!
The cornucopia would be fun to fill with bounty, but this year it stands empty, nevertheless still a reminder of the harvest.
My most recent find, this metal pitcher seemed to fit the look.
Now that I had my fun playing decorator with the table center piece, I want to show you how to make your very own leaf placemat.
I bought these 2 bunches of leaves at the dollar store. I liked the different leaf shapes and colors.
Three leaves per placemat were the perfect size. Use as many as you need to build up a nice placemat size.
The plastic “veins” on the back added too much bulk.
They easily peeled off.
After deciding placement, tack it together with a little hot glue. Then come back and glue the rest of the overlapping pieces together.
Ta-da!
Here is the rest of the table setting. A large canning lid stands in as a charger. I didn’t bother to cover up the words because I wanted a silver charger and the plate covers it up just fine. I saw Jen over at AGDollCrafts made canning lids into doll size plates with a little spray paint. Check it out here. I know I want to try it out sometime!
I love the colors of the square plates. Surprisingly they are a yard sale find.
A mini leaf carries the theme.
Black napkins in a leaf and wire holder finishes it off.
These leaf placemats can add fall fun to any dolls table!
Happy Thanksgiving!
