Turn over a new leaf. Stay rooted. Extend an olive branch. Trees are inherently metaphorical. In the case of this “living” art project, the tree stands for your ever-growing gratitude.
Gather loved ones and write what you’re most thankful for on the leaves, fold them up, and place them in the branches. It’s a simple way to stop and appreciate what you’ve got, and would be at home anywhere from a Thanksgiving tablescape, to a baby shower, to a retirement celebration.
Fun fact: this was dreamed up as a result of our design challenge with Kikkerland and Pratt Institute—we’re so grateful the idea was submitted.
