We’ve been seeing a lot of pretty place settings on Pinterest that have silverware tied with ribbon or twine. We think it is just the sweetest thing (and the easiest!), so we adopted it for our own Thanksgiving table!
All you need is your flatware, and a piece of ribbon! We tied ours in a knot and curled the ribbon a little. You can also tie a bow or even tie a name tag into the ribbon for a place setting.
Here are some of our other favorites from around the web:
