Time is running out! But, there’s still enough time to whip up a few of these DIY Thanksgiving decor ideas! Turkey day is my favorite holiday–friends, family, food, & football without the stress of buying, wrapping, and giving gifts! Here are a few simple and fun ideas to dress your house for Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Banner & Pillow

You can make handmade items for a fraction of the cost of store-bought items (especially if you are a craft supply hoarder) and have the pleasure of making it, choosing the colors, sizes, etc and then feeling the accomplishment with your finished project! For a detailed tutorial on how to make the “Thankful” Banner, the Leaf Wreath Pillow, and the Give Thanks Sign, visit Angela at Handmade in the Heartland.

Paper Leaf Garland

Garlands are perfect for draping across mantels, over door frames, or just taping onto a wall. They add such a festive flair for the fall season! Check out the easy instructions here at A Beautiful Mess. (They even include a template for the leaves that you can print onto cardstock. Easy peasy!)

Plush Velvet Pumpkins

I have a serious crush on those gorgeous velvet pumpkins that are all over Pinterest, but sewing is just not my thing. Well, guess what? There’s actually minimal sewing in this project and just look how amazing they turn out. This video tutorial over at Nest of Posies will help you make your own plush velvet pumpkins.

Yarn Pumpkins

These yarn pumpkins are such a gorgeous little fall craft project – great for a table centerpiece or even a fall mantle. They’re beautiful on their own, or in a group! Instructions are here.

Dried Orange Garland

This dried orange garland project made with bay leaves and cinnamon sticks is easy to create and makes a beautiful statement in your fall or winter decor. Visit Patti at Hearth & Vine for the details of how to make your own.

The Thankful Tree

A bit of scrapbook paper punched into circles, a bit of ribbon, some branches, and a jar and you suddenly have a Thankful Tree. A place for your Thanksgiving day guests to jot a note about what they are thankful for is a great Thanksgiving day tradition. Make yours with some help from Emily Rose at Simply Vintage Girl.

Thanksgiving Party Favors

“Leaf” an attractive and festive gift box at each place setting for your Thanksgiving dinner guests. A little something special for the friends and family gathering at your house this T-day. You can find the instructions to make your own right here.

Pumpkin Jar Cozy

This cozy turns a pint-size canning jar into a cute Fall table decoration. It also makes a great gift and is adorable filled with candies or mixes. This cozy works up very quickly and makes a fun project with endless possibilities! Free download on Ravelry.
