1. Chicken Wire Placemat
This chicken wire placemat is the perfect touch to any Thanksgiving feast. A conversation starter for sure--your guests will be impressed by your rustic chic craftiness. We're thinking fall, farmhouse family gatherings, cotton bouquets, apple cider and shiplap dining rooms would compliment this placemat rather nicely. Another bonus--it's super easy and cheap to make.

2. Chicken Wire Cornucopia
One tricky thing about hosting large gatherings is what to have for a centerpiece. On Pinterest we were seeing a lot of chicken wire cornucopias and decided to give it a whirl. It took some creative shaping (and 100% make sure to wear thick gloves when shaping the chicken wire) but once it's wrapped with burlap and stuffed with fresh fruit and veggies--it looks great!

3. Chicken Wire Thanksgiving Board
Every year our group of friends gather for a "Friendsgiving" and we take turns going around the table and saying what we're thankful for. It's a favorite tradition and one that everyone really looks foward to so we thought it would be fun to have a Thanksgiving board and everyone can write what they're thankful for and attach it to the board.

4. Chicken Wire Pumpkin
Even though it's November, we believe pumpkins are a totally acceptable form of decoration until Thanksgiving and shouldn't be thrown out before then!
