Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. Unlike Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/all the other gift giving holidays, Thanksgiving isn’t about giving presents but rather enjoying your loved ones presence (like what I did there?) & giving thanks for all of your many blessings.
It’s just all sorts of warm & fuzziness going on around the T-day table, & I love it.
I also love how it’s big on tradition, & a long time tradition in my crazy fam has always been napkin rings (along with yams + marshmallows of course, worlds best combo!!). Pretty random, I know, but my Grandmother was a napkin ring collector & often gave my sister and I the job of picking out everyones special napkin ring… which we took with great pride.
So, when Forever 21 asked me to whip up a Thanksgiving themed DIY for their blog, this seemed like a no brainer. Naturally, I enlisted my sisters help, & we have officially decided to carry on this napkin ring tradition w/ a twist– each year we make DIY napkin rings for the table setting! Fun, right?
Since this our first year, we wanted to keep it really festive decorating ours with sparkly pinecones, burlap twine, & pretty lil’ Autumn leaves. They were so so so easy to make & look better than any store bought ones I’ve seen (just sayin’). Plus, they’re handmade, & who doesn’t love that?!
What’s YOUR guys family tradition for Turkey Day? Would love to hear it!!
