Thanksgiving DIY Projects: Sun-Print Place Cards By: Grace Bonney

One of the greatest joys of living on the east coast is experiencing the changing seasons. While I love and miss my home state of California, there’s nothing quite like the explosion of colors autumn brings. It seems almost ceremonial to walk through canopies of yellow-, orange- and red-topped trees and kick up crunchy leaves. The other day while walking through the city, yellow leaves were raining down on me for blocks. It felt otherworldly and wonderful.

This Thanksgiving, I want to bring that feeling indoors and to my table, while adding another striking complementary color, Prussian blue. Using a sunprint paper, much like the 19th century cyanotype, we’ll make place cards that are miniature works of art and also gifts for your guests to enjoy throughout the year. -Jessica Marquez
