Festive trim for the Thanksgiving table settings


Just a little something for the water goblets.

A good friend gave me a baggie full of these pieces. I believe she said they were leftover from Thanksgiving "crackers" at her Thanksgiving. She gave them to me, as she knew I would find a use for them.


It's a short strip of ribbon and 2 tiny pinecones, twisted onto wire together, to make a small ring. I've put them on the base of all of the water goblets. There are 16 sets of these pieces, which is plenty for our table of 10 people.

I trimmed the ends of the ribbons, then tied the ribbons onto the wires attached to pinecones, and wrapped the wire around the stem of the goblet. Lacking tiny pinecones, this would also be festive with any ribbon, tied to the stem of water goblets.

Maybe you remember? Our dishes for this time of year are brown and cream transfer ware. I think the brown and cream plaid ribbon will look just right with the dishes.
