Before we know it Thanksgiving will be here.  I don’t know about you, but I start thinking about Thanksgiving even before Halloween has come and gone.  Especially this year since I think we may be hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house.  So I’m in super plan mode.  I want to make sure everything looks good and is perfect for the big day.  I’m trying to gather things for my table and have been thinking about fall centerpiece ideas.  I decided to create a Thanksgiving table box.

 

Creating this table box was really simple.  I went to the hardware store and bought a 6ft piece of 1 x 4.  I had the guy at the store cut the pieces for me.  I cut (3) 20 inch pieces and (2) 5 inch pieces from my 1 x 4 board.

Then I stained my boards.  If you don’t know how to stain wood, you can see the process from when I made my Give Thanks sign.  You will notice I didn’t stain the ends of my 20 inch boards.  That is because they are going to be covered.

I had my hubby help me with this part.  We used a nail gun and nailed the 20 inch pieces together.  One flat for the bottom and then the two sides.

We then nailed the 5 inch pieces onto the ends.  And our box was done.

To fill my box and create my fall centerpiece, I found some empty jars and bought a bunch of miscellaneous filler from the dollar store and from the craft store.  I just bought whatever I liked and whatever was on sale.

I filled up the 3 jars with leaves, berries and pumpkins that were on wire picks.  Using wire cutters, I cut down any that were too long.

I put the jars back into the box and they looked excellent.  Beautiful fall colors and all.  But the centerpiece still needed something.

I then found some tiny pumpkins and some walnuts in the shells and filled the empty spaces of the box.

This Thanksgiving table box is a excellent fall centerpiece and will not only look beautiful on a Thanksgiving table, but would look excellent on a fireplace or an entryway.  It really will look excellent anywhere you want it to feel like fall.

Happy Crafting!
