Autumn Fall Home Decor Thanksgiving

How to Make a Hand Lettered Magnolia Leaf Centerpiece

We are blessed to live at the end of a street lined with beautiful magnolia trees.  The leaves are huge and hard.  I like to step on them when I go for a walk because they crunch so loud!  I’ve seen other bloggers make wreaths out of them but I wanted something just a little different so I came up with a hand-lettered magnolia leaf centerpiece.

Hand Lettered Magnolia Leaf Centerpiece

These are the only supplies I used:  a pile of dried magnolia leaves and a bunch of different white and metallic markers.  I’ll share my favorites below.

First I just played and tested all my markers.  I liked the thick white marker but thought it was a little too stark.  But I did like using the thin white marker to highlight a darker metallic marker.

I finally settled on a gold metallic pen and did my faux calligraphy with the words BLESSED, GRATEFUL, and THANKFUL.  (Scroll down to see the other pens I sampled.)

I thought these would be good reminders for me.

I tucked these leaves in different vignettes around my house but most stayed in this magnolia leaf centerpiece on my dining table.

    So pretty – and simple. Magnolia leaves are some of my favorite and full of childhood memories…my grandmother would weave together green leaves with match sticks and make hats for me to wear. I always remember her when I see magnolia leaves now! 💕
