A New Tradition

TDay 682x1024 - A New Tradition

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is so close. Last year we started a tradition at our house that was a huge success.  You might want to start the same tradition during your Thanksgiving celebration.

 I made a thankful table cloth.  It was super easy to make and overall a huge hit.  This thankful table cloth can be used year after year. First, I bought a drop cloth and washed and dried it.  Then I ironed it.

We used this table cloth for dinner Wednesday night because it is a more casual setting. I wanted to have a casual table and start our own Thanksgiving tradition.  It is going to be a thankful table cloth that can be used every year that we celebrate Thanksgiving with the family at our house.

I used our dining room table as my craft table since it is so big.  I stretched the drop cloth onto the table and found the center.

Since this will be our thankful table cloth, I decided to stencil “Give Thanks.”  I had some stencils on hand from other projects and just used them.  I bought brown fabric paint at Michaels.

I left some space in the center so I could add a center piece.  Right now I’m using  a pitcher filled with wheat.

Next up was the fun part.  I purchased some Sharpie permanent  markers.  I had each person who was visiting with us for Thanksgiving write a message on the cloth about what they were thankful for.  They also dated and signed the cloth.  It was a hit, and everyone loved the new tradition.

 This year we will be spending Thanksgiving in Kentucky so the thankful table cloth remain in a storage bin till next year when we celebrate again together here in Syracuse.  I know this cloth will get lots of years of use and many more messages of thanks.

    I meant to do this project this past year but didn’t have the time. I had forgotten about it so I am so glad that you posted it again. I am really excited to head to Lowes to get a drop cloth and make this! Thanks again!!
