Lifestyle curator brings festive DIY ideas to the Thanksgiving table

News 12 This Morning: Rachel Leonard Kennedy joins News 12’s Amelia Greer with some helpful tips and tricks to elevate your Thanksgiving festivities. From DIY Charcuterie Wine glass toppers to ‘BEARY Thankful’ DIY candles, Rachel brings your hosting dreams to life!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — The season of giving is upon us, and with that comes an influx of holiday plans and events.

A local lifestyle curator is hoping to relieve some of the stress so you can deck the halls in style.

Rachel Leonard Kennedy (@thekennedycurate) moved to Chattanooga last year and has been inspiring homemakers with festive tips and tricks.

She offers two unique ways for you to be the ‘hostess with the mostest’ this Thanksgiving.

One plays off the recent viral bear cup trend at Starbucks.

Her ‘BEARY Thankful’ candle is cost-effective and trendy. For around $2.00, you can buy a bear jam jar at your nearest craft store and create an adorable keepsake.

She used a candle making kit to provide a cozy gift for guests!

Give your family something they can treasure this holiday season without the hassle of buying second-hand online (usually for way more).

Another way to generate conversation and network at events is through her DIY charcuterie wine glass toppers.

Gluing together coffee cup lids and coating them with wax paper creates a makeshift plate.

Now you can greet guests and enjoy your own snack without having your hands full!

For the latest holiday tips, you can follow Rachel on social media or online.
