DIY Thanksgiving Home Decor

With the holiday season getting off to a busy start and Thanksgiving just around the corner, you might be starting to plan out all of the events, dinners, and parties that come along this time of year.

If you happen to be hosting dinner later this month, you might also be starting to think about decorating your home for the season. Today we’re sharing some fun DIY Thanksgiving decor ideas that you can try out on your own or with your family!

This gratitude placemat from Mer Mag is great for kids! Have them fill in what they are thankful for this year. I bet a few mamas shed tears after they see what their little ones are writing. Such a sweet activity!

Celebrate a little each day leading up to Thanksgiving with this Thanksgiving advent calendar from Polka Dot Chair! I love the leaves at the very top — so pretty!

Guys, I REALLY love garlands, and this one’s perfect for Thanksgiving or just Autumn in general. We Made That gives great instructions on how to create this beautiful salt dough Fall garland.

Let the garland love continue, friends! My daughter thinks this is pretty fantastic because of ALL THAT GLITTER! It’s pretty rad, right? And you could switch up the colors and customize it as you please (or even for other holidays!) Find out how at Smart School House.

Last but not least, this turkey wreath from Baby Rabies always makes me smile! Those eyes are just too cute. If you search around her site you’ll also find tulle wreath DIYs for other holidays — including Halloween and Christmas. Take a peek!

Handmade decorations are great because you will end up saving money on purchasing decor items, children feel excited and proud to be a part of decorating for the holidays, and your guests and family members will love seeing your creations! It really just adds a personal touch that’s perfect for this time of year.

Have you been working on any DIY Thanksgiving decor projects this year? Do you decorate for Thanksgiving specifically or just Autumn? Let us know in the comments and feel free to share links to YOUR favorite DIYs!
