DIY Thanksgiving Placemat

With Thanksgiving less than ten days away (what?!), I wanted to make Anabelle a special place to put her plate when we sit down for dinner with our family. I am so incredibly grateful that she is in our lives, that a simple, "so grateful" sketched out on her placemat is no less than perfect. 

Supplies needed:

- Brown kraft paper (white would work too)

- Ruler

- Scissors

- Writing tool of choice (white pencil, gel pens, markers, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Cut out a 12x18 piece out of the kraft paper. 

2.  Measure out where your child's plate (or grown up plate) will be to the left of the placemat. I made a line in the middle of the placemat as a guide.

3. Write out a special saying to your child or loved one. You can even write out their name, or a place they can write out what they are thankful for this year. There are endless possibilities! 

So simple, yet so meaningful! I hope you give this a try and let me know how it turns out :)
