*Corkboard Leaf Trivets:

In less time than it takes to make gravy, you can create a simple, inexpensive accent for your Thanksgiving table.

Trace a leaf design from our online templates onto a square piece of corkboard (available at most office-supply stores) with permanent marker. Place corkboard on a cutting mat, and cut along the outline with a craft knife. Turn over to display.







*Flaming Foliage Candleholders:

Give colorful fallen leaves one last chance to shine -- or glow -- by repurposing them as decorations on glass candleholders. Place the cylinders around the house for a cocktail party, or line them up at the center of a dinner table. Against the candlelight, the leaves look like vibrant flames.

Tools and Materials Spray adhesive Assorted dried leaves Glass candleholders Candles

1. Apply spray adhesive to the backs of the leaves.
2. Wrap leaves around candleholder, letting the stem of each extend slightly past the base.
3. Cut off leaf overhang along bottom of candleholder.





*Harvest Centerpiece:

A table arrangement of grains celebrates the bounty of fall. In addition to wheat, which symbolizes a fruitful life, this textured display includes other dried grasses (available at crafts stores), so it can be made weeks ahead. The final flourish? A luxurious satin bow.

To make each centerpiece, you'll need about a hundred stalks (six bunches) of dried grass and wheat.

1. Bundle 15 or so stems together at a time (they're easiest to handle if you secure bundles with floral tape about 4 inches below grain pods).
2. Hold between thumb and forefinger at an angle. Add bundles, in a spiral as shown, until all are used.
3. Wrap with floral tape (choose a color that matches your ribbon). Trim ends with floral pruner (cut center tips shorter for a stable base). Tie a wide ribbon over tape.
