Is Thanksgiving at your place this year? You’ll probably be spending most of your time shopping, prepping, and cooking (and maybe just a little bit of cleaning). But you should also think about decorating too!
Make this wonderful American holiday even more special with these fun decoration ideas your guests will love!
1. Bring the outdoors in
If you live in an area where there are leaves-a-plenty, this is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to decorate for Thanksgiving. Whether you choose just a few crispy brown, orange, and yellow leaves to accent your centerpiece or scatter them around your crudités and appetizers table, they’re sure to brighten the mood with some fresh fall spirit.
2. Put up a “Thankful” board
Whether it’s a chalkboard, whiteboard, or poster board, decorate the edges of a large surface where your guests can write things that they’re thankful for. Write “I’m thankful for…” at the top, and leave out the appropriate writing utensils.
3. Decorate with pumpkins, squash, and gourds
The great thing about these decorations is that they last a long time. Purchase them before Halloween, and you’ll still have them around to use at your Thanksgiving table! A large pumpkin with several smaller gourds or squash surrounding it always makes a great centerpiece. Add some leaves, branches, or ribbon for some extra flair!
4. Make corn-husk wrapped candle holders
Lastly, get your craft on with a quick and easy project involving dried corn husks, some ribbon, and a few basic candle holders (just make sure they’re a basic cylindrical shape). Simply wrap the cornhusks uniformly around the candle holders, taking care to trim the excess off the top and away from the candle flame.
Affix the cornhusk pieces to the sides of the candle holders with glue if you don’t care about the glue possibly leaving a mark — or use some festival Thanksgiving-themed ribbon! White candles work best for this project, but you could use orange, deep red, or brown as well.
