Terrariums for Thanksgiving

Hello there!

Let's begin today's post with a few inspiring photos:

I saw these at a shop and I was so inspired how these jars were transformed from "blah to TADA!" They are terrariums made from dried objects like flowers, leaves, and moss.

In the past, I've made terrariums made from living plants. How encouraging that we can make other kinds of terrariums even if the summer turns into fall.    

And this is how my scavenger hunt began.

I chose an old vase. 

Then I went on walks in the park to collect nature's free bounty: pine cones, dried flowers and acorns. Sticks and leaves are good options, too.

I lined the bottom of the vase with some artificial moss.

I added the tiny pine cones.

 

And then some of the dried flowers for height.

And a few acorns to round out the arrangement. I can use this as a centerpiece for a coffee table...TADA!

Here is another version using a jam jar that I filled with dried flowers like lavender and dried leaves like eucalyptus making this a scented arrangement...TADA!

I added the word "grateful" that I made from card stock, crafts stamps, and an ink pad. I'll position this to each place setting at the Thanksgiving table. That way guests have a tiny table decor that they can take home as a souvenir...TADA!

Thanksgiving is this Thursday and I want to personally thank you, dear readers, for being here with me all these years. For that, I am truly grateful! Your presence has turned my life from "blah to TADA!"

Happy Thanksgiving!
