The holiday season is just around the corner, and if you are a ‘seasonal decoration’ enthusiast, things might feel a little pocket-pinching every time a new event comes up.
Don't worry. Just as there are endless turkey stuffing options, decorations can have infinite possibilities without breaking the bank. As Thanksgiving is on the brink, let us help you with some creative and budget-friendly DIY ideas for Thanksgiving decorations that you and your family will love doing for the festivity.
Mini Pumpkin and Succulent Centrepiece –
If you have some mini pumpkins, you can scoop out the pulp and use them as mini vases for your succulents or small flowers like yellow billy buttons. You can also add some twigs collected from your garden to add a subtle fall touch. Arrange these pumpkins in the center of your dinner table and you have made a beautiful centerpiece for your table.
‘Give Thanks’ Frames –
Remove old photo frames from the closet and swap them with DIY paintings of ‘Give Thanks.’ Engage that member of the family who loves drawing/painting.
Gather –
Who needs money for decoration when you have colorful autumn leaves all around? Collect some fallen autumn leaves from your surroundings and ask your family members to write what they are thankful for on them. Then attach/tie them to small twigs and put the twigs in a vase. Make this a central part of your coffee table for that aesthetic touch.
Pinecone Turkeys –
Fall season is when pinecones fall and if you can collect them, they can be made into attractive centerpieces. You just need to paint them in metallic gold color and make them look like little turkeys with the help of cupcake liners, gold foil papers, or crepe papers.
DIY Pine and Cinnamon Napkins –
The main element of Thanksgiving is the feast. Therefore, dinner table decoration becomes a must during this time. As Thanksgiving and Christmas come one after the other, a bit of Christmas vibe in Thanksgiving decorations lights up the spirit. For this, you can add a cinnamon stick along with a pine leaf in each napkin for that sweet aroma and the Christmas flair.
Leafy Wreaths for Windows – You can collect colorful fall leaves from the backyard and turn them into wreaths for windows with little handwritten ‘thank you’ tags hanging. This will add up to the Thanksgiving aesthetics perfectly.
DIY Thankful Turkeys –
Get your kids into action with this simple craft idea and please your extended family members. Make them draw shall turkey shapes in cardboard and cut them accordingly. Then paste colorful paper feathers with the names of your extended family members on them, and place these cute little turkeys on the coffee table. This will not only please your guests but fill their hearts with warmth and joy.
A Thankful Banner –
Another simple DIY craft that can easily be done by children or other family members is a ‘thankful banner.’ All you need are some colorful papers that can be turned into lists of things you are grateful for in life. Then stringing them along the fireplace or hanging them on the wall with a twig hanging is a great way to add to the Thanksgiving decoration.
