Pipe Place Holders

Craft stylish place card holders and add a touch of personalized elegance to your Thanksgiving table. These offer a robust, industrial charm that beautifully juxtaposes the elegance of handwritten name cards.

Materials Needed:

• 6 elbows
• 6 small connectors
• 1 longer connector
• 2 caps
• Cardstock

Instructions:

Connect two elbows with a small connector to create a U-shaped structure. Do this with two other elbows and a small connector to have two U-shaped structures. Attach connectors to openings of the U-shaped structures and place a cap on one of the connectors – this will be the front of the finished piece.

For the remaining exposed connectors, attach the two remaining elbows and connect them with the longer connectors. Cut cardstock into rectangles and write the names of your guests. Neatly position the card on top of the pipe place holder and you’re good to go.

Pipe Napkin Rings

This one is an easy addition to your Thanksgiving tablescape. All you need is a few pipes or fittings and you’ve crafted a functional statement piece.

Materials Needed:

• Small pipe connectors or elbows
• Decorative ribbons or twine

Instructions:

Using either a small pipe connector or an elbow, thread your folded napkin through. For added charm, loop a decorative ribbon or twine around the pipe and secure a dainty bow.

Decorative Fall Centerpiece

Elevate your tablescape with an industrial-styled fall centerpiece with a few pipes and a wood block.

Materials Needed:

• Pipes of varied lengths
• Flanges
• Woodblock
• Fall décor and trinkets

Instructions:

Start with building four legs with pipes and flanges. Attach flanges to each end of the pipes. Attach the legs to the wood block through flanges. Make sure to use the proper screw size to ensure that it doesn’t go through your wood block.

Now that you have the centerpiece structure done, all that’s left to do is add in your fall décor. Think mini pumpkins, pinecones, autumn leaves, and other fall trinkets you have lying around.

Pipe Cutlery Holders

Offer your guests their dining essentials in style with pipe-fashioned cutlery holders.

Materials Needed:

• Medium-sized pipe connectors or elbows

Instructions:

Simply insert rolled napkins with attached cutlery into the pipe connectors and you’re done. You can also add labels if desired with simple messages like “Enjoy” or personalized guest names for added flair.

Pipe Wine Holder

Elevate your drinking game with a pipe wine holder. Give your guests easy access to their preferred drinks in a nice presentation.

Materials Needed:

• ¼ - ½ Tees
• ½ Tees
• ½ Connectors
• Flange
• Cap
• Heavy woodblock

Instructions:

Use the flange as the base of the structure and attach a ½ tee with a connector to it. Depending on how many bottles of wine you’re showcasing, you can go up to four ½ tees connected vertically with connectors.

Make sure to position the tees in a way that the openings are not facing the same directions. Attach the ¼ - ½ tees using a connector to the openings of the ½ tees. Place them on an angle to hold the wine bottles balanced.

To ensure stability, make sure to screw the base on a solid, heavy wood block that is wide enough to ensure that your wine display doesn’t topple over. Display your wine bottles upside down by inserting them on the tee openings. It’s a cool way to display your wine to your guests.

Thanksgiving is about the spirit of gratitude, and what better way to express it than with a tablescape that resonates with warmth, creativity, and craftsmanship? With the fusion of the industrial charm of pipes and the season’s festive charm, you’re bound to craft an ambiance that’s both inviting and unforgettable. Cheers to memorable meals and the settings that host them! Happy Thanksgiving!
