FRINGED SKIRTS
Snip a yard of fringe trim from the
crafts store into seven-inch pieces,
poke a hole at each end with an
awl, wrap them around rolled-up
napkins, and secure with screw-
back brass clasps.

SHELL CELLARS
Gather small sticks that lie flat, and
hot-glue two walnut halves onto
each. Fill them with salt and pepper,
and place them around your
table—one for every two people.

shell halves, $5 for 4, artsshopco.etsy.com.

STARRING ROLLS
Forgo the usual communal basket,
and treat all your VIPs to personal
bread boards. Add a ramekin
of butter, so they can lay it on
as thick as they like.

bar board, $9, jkadams.com.

here. Just attach a leather cord

and knot the loose ends around
a napkin.

The only thing we love as much as upholding favorite holiday
traditions is starting beautiful new ones. Each of these ideas
strikes a nice balance between rustic and refined, is simple
enough for casual crafters to pull off, and will make your
Thanksgiving table look so lovely, you’ll happily give Nana’s
silver napkin rings a breather—at least till next month.
