4 DIY Easy Projects for Thanksgiving Decorations
Make Your Own Garland
The fall season is all about chilly mornings, colorful leaves and pumpkin everything. Decorate your mantle, doorway or staircase with DIY garland that incorporates these seasonal feelings!
Gather some leaves – real or craft – earth tone fabric pieces and branches. Then, use clothes pins to secure these items to grapevine garland, available at local craft stores. If placed above the hearth, use mini pumpkins and gourds to hold the garland down.
Personalized Place Settings
Holiday dinners are a special time spent with family. Less and less households are sitting down to eat dinner together on a regular basis, so Thanksgiving and Christmas are unique opportunities to spend quality time with loved ones. Make personalized place settings by crafting a leaf shape from wire and inserting name cards.
Color Coded Glasses
At a crowded party, how many times have you placed your drink down, only to later forget where it is? With a color coding system, everyone will remember which glass belongs to them. Wrap embroidery floss around the stems of your wine glasses and let the guests choose their own color. If you have more guests than glasses, use glass writer pens to write names.
DIY Centerpieces
Pre-made holiday centerpieces can be expensive, especially when buying for multiple tables. With a vase, construction paper and artificial tree branches, you can craft a unique centerpiece that gets all your guests involved. Have everyone write down one blessing they have in their life, then display the sentiments on the fake branches to make “thankful trees”.
