Check out our other Thanksgiving Crafts.
Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will show you how to make these Thanksgiving place cards.
Materials Needed
– cardboard
– red paper
– glue
– scissors
– gold paint
– pencil
– cotton swab
Step 1
Cut a square from the cardboard (with the side about 8 cm).
Fold it in half.
Step 2
Using the pencil …
… draw a leaf on the red paper…
then cut it out.
Step 3
Now we will decorate the leaf to look more real.
Trace a line of gold paint on the middle of it…
… and spread it with the cotton swab…
… like this. Now, the leaf has the golden tone of an autumn leaf.
Next, we will trace the veins – start with the main one, in the middle…
… then the little ones, on both sides of it…
… like this.
Step 4
With the paint that is still on the swab, make some short, uneven lines on the edges of the folded cardboard…
… like this.
Step 5
Apply a small amount of glue on the right upper part…
… then place the leaf there.
The place card is now ready to decorate your Thanksgiving table. Make one for each of your guests this Thanksgiving. It will give your dinner a formal touch.
