You can begin by making a beautiful centerpiece for your table. A Thanksgiving centerpiece is just what you need to give your Thanksgiving dinner a more festive feeling. A Thanksgiving centerpiece doesn't have to be hard to make. With some fall flowers, pumpkins, gourds, and greenery, it is possible to create a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece very easily, in very little time and for very little money.

One Thanksgiving centerpiece can be made on a tray or a platter in only a minutes. What you will need:

a small potted ivy or mum
a few small gourds or pumpkins
several miniature pumpkins
a few apples
some fresh or dried greenery such as moss, leaves, or parsley
a platter or tray in which you will place your arrangement

Place the mum or ivy on one side of the platter and place a gourd and two small pumpkins next to the plant. Make sure you water the plant, but sparingly so as not to overrun or spill the water onto the other items on the platter. Arrange the miniature pumpkins around the platter and place the apples randomly to give a splash of color. Use small apples of both red and green colors. Place the leaves and/or greenery between the apples, gourds, and pumpkins. This makes a wonderful centerpiece that will make your Thanksgiving table a thing of beauty.

You can make a CRANBERRY CENTERPIECE with a clear glass vase (any size will do), two pounds of fresh or dried cranberries, and a large bunch of pink or white carnations. Cut the carnation stems so that the flowers will be just above the top of the vase and remove any leaves. Place the carnations inside the vase and pull the flowers away from the edge. Drop the cranberries into the vase and then fill with water.

These are just a couple of ideas I found for Thanksgiving centerpieces. You can find out how to make a lot more crafts for Thanksgiving by visiting a Definitive Guide To Thanksgiving Crafts .
