These Copper-Accented Thanksgiving Favors double as place cards, and they look so pretty on a Thanksgiving table! Free printables are included so that you can customize name tags for each of your guests and welcome them to your table. As an added bonus, tuck a little snack mix inside the Ceramic Pumpkin Trinket Boxes for guests to munch on before they dine, or take home for later.

Step
1

Use a paint brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the bottom half of the Ceramic Pumpkin Trinket Box lid. Use vertical strokes, and don't be afraid to let them be a little uneven...it will add some visual interest to the finished product!

Position a copper foil leaf sheet over the Mod Podge and gently press to adhere. Be careful to press and not rub, as rubbing may remove some of the foil leaf.

Add a little treat inside the boxes to surprise your guests and cover up the string. We used a nut mix, but mints or small candies would be fun, too! To ensure this project is food safe only use individually wrapped food or candies. Place the copper-accented lid on top, and you're all done!
