Happy Thanksgiving week! I know it has been looking a lot like Christmas around here, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love Thanksgiving as well. We don’t host Thanksgiving at our home, so I don’t generally decorate specifically for the holiday. This year I got a little incentive to set a Thanksgiving table, from Martha Stewart Living. I used the supplies they provided to make a hand-painted Thanksgiving runner to anchor a holiday table.
I was sent a box of goodies from Martha Stewart to open and try out. Each product is designed to help bring the harvest season to our Thanksgiving table. The box included: Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids containers for all those Thanksgiving leftovers, a coupon for a Smithfield spiral ham which we will use this Christmas, a box of Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat tea, craft supplies from Martha Stewart Crafts, and a copy of Martha Stewart Living magazine.
I, of course, grabbed all the craft supplies to make a hand-painted Thanksgiving table runner.
Instead of cutting the graphic of the turkey and using it as a stencil, I laid it underneath the linen fabric and traced the design with my paintbrush. This gave it more of a painterly look.
I then went on to use the Martha Stewart Crafts paints to add “Give Thanks” around the turkey graphic and hand-painted leaves along the length of the runner.
I set the table with shades of blue and orange-red. It is a bit of an untraditional Thanksgiving color scheme, and I think that is what I like about it.
After your holiday meal is said and done, you can turn those tasty holiday leftovers into a delicious hash!
