    DIY Thanksgiving Pear Place Cards

    I love a simple DIY, don’t you? After all who really has time for a complicated project when the holidays are hectic enough? An easy way to decorate any Thanksgiving table is with fresh produce like pears, little white pumpkins, or colorful gourds.

    Pear Place Cards

    While Bosc pears are beautiful enough on their own, a quick coating of gold glitter spray paint and a simple Thanksgiving flag would turn them into elegant place cards for Thanksgiving guests. Who says setting a holiday table has to be complicated?

    Here’s what you need to make these Thanksgiving Pear Place Cards:

    Bosc Pears- I used real pears but you could also use plastic fruit
    Krylon Glitter Blast Gold Glitter Spray Paint
    Craft glue
    Scissors

    Thanksgiving Place Cards

    Step 1: Download, print, and cut out paper flags. Set aside.

    Step 2: Spray paint pears with gold glitter. Allow pears to dry completely.

    Step 3: Add craft glue to the back of each paper flag. Wrap one flag around each pear stem and press together to seal.

    Step 4: Arrange on your Thanksgiving table.

      What font is used on the flags? It is lovely and I would like to make some of these for Christmas to put on my silver glittered pears. Love your style!

      Since the pears are real food, I recommend using Wilton Gold Color Mist sold at Party City or Kmart in the baking aisle. Then you can still eat them after the event is over.

        That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
