Here's my favorite Thanksgiving place card from Mother Nature (and Martha Stewart...).

Don't these spiky balls off a Liquidambar tree make adorable place cards? I'm thinking so...

And I found a couple more au naturale place card ideas too ...

Why buy place card holders when you can make them for FREE with materials from Mama Nature? Some pumpkins, some pears, some apples, and you got it made. I'm sure there's something amazing you could do with a pressed maple leaf and a silver pen too.

These are such great ideas! I was going to do the apples for my wedding, but instead we did those little fake birds with a pin and name tag in it. People loved it!

Love these! In a pinch, we use old wine corks. Just make a little slice in them with a knife and insert the card. Not really from Mother Nature, but the wine is!
