I love creating scenes that remind me of my favorite things! Instead of creating a traditional Thanksgiving scene, I decided to make a scene of getting ready for the big dinner. I can imagine the smell of the turkey and pies and it reminds me of family and time spent together during the holidays.
Here are the minis I used for this scene:
- 5-piece Saybrook Dining Set
- Hudson Hutch
- 4 All-Purpose Glasses
- 40-piece Table Setting
- Carving Knife & Fork Set
- Glass Cake Stand
- Pumpkins/Gourds & Basket
To start, I wanted to build the scene in something that I’d use for Thanksgiving. I decided to use this roll basket and I love how it turned out!
I added Fall-colored raffia to the top, sides, and base of the basket and on the top of the hutch.
Prepping the table can be such a fun part of Thanksgiving, or any other big dinner. I love this tiny carving knife and fork – so darling! The tiny dishes are set out, all ready to be organized. Check out this mini formal setting.
I’ve never actually owned a cake platter but I’ve always wanted one. This mini one is so dang cute!
One of my favorite traditions is making either a gratitude tree or a gratitude wreath. They’re wonderful to display and are such a great way to think of all the things you’re grateful for. I used my Cricut to make these leaves using the cut file I use for the full size ones. I just shrunk it down tiny and they turned out great! There’s also a free printable if you want to make your own.
These tiny words were really hard to write.
I love the details on this carving set – they’re perfect!
This set of table and chairs were exactly what I wanted for this scene. They’re so well made and everything lines up perfectly!
I used mini burlap for the tablecloth. It can be found at craft stores in the scrapbook paper section.
This hutch is one of my favorite minis ever! I love the tiny drawer, doors, and windows. It comes unfinished and I considered painting it but I really love the wood look.
I lined up the silverware, ready to go on the table. They’re so tiny!
The hutch is stocked and ready! The tiny teacups and saucers make me want to throw a tea party. I made the napkins using ribbon and my flat iron (they’re not just for hair, right?).
I love how it all came together!
This is fabulous!!! You have brought joy in knowing that small wonders can be created if we just think outside the box. Thank you for shareng, I think you will be an inspiration for me as I return to trying to create keepsakes for the children and grandchildren. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
