It’s that time of year when your local Starbucks reeks of pumpkin-spiced lattes, and autumn leaves cover lawns as we celebrate with family. Yes, Thanksgiving is here. So as preparations go in full swing, here are some quick, easy DIY Thanksgiving decor ideas to turn around your home into a fall wonderland before your guests turn up.

Thanksgiving Decor Ideas for Your Home

Here are a few ideas that can work wonders even when you are hard pressed for time.

1. Decorative Pumpkins

Pumpkins are a staple during the fall season and have a variety of uses in Thanksgiving decor for your home. They make for fancy DIY decor at the entrance hall, the living room, and the dining table. Paint the pumpkins with metallic colors and fill them with flowers/ succulents/ berry branches to create eye-catching centerpieces. Experiment with pumpkins of varied shapes and try out glitter paints and lace fabrics to get your desired effect. You can even convert cleaned pumpkins into fruit punch bowls and ice buckets. The possibilities are countless!

2. Turkey-Shaped Vessels

Turkey-shaped vessels make for fantastic thanksgiving decor. There are vases, crockery, cutlery, and even salt and pepper shakers available in turkey shapes. Decorate your dining table with these collectibles as Thanksgiving decor for home. Add matching runners, plants, and candles to perfect the scene. Turkey platters have graced dinnerware since the 1800s and can even be used as wall decor to be hung around your house. You can even quickly put together a vintage turkey cloche using a glass cloche, a cake stand, and a turkey figurine.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a short video on everything you need to refresh your memory on how the Thanksgiving holiday began.

3. Bowtie Napkins

It’s the perfect time to experiment with napkin foldings. Leaf, turkey, boat, and pumpkin are popular napkin foldings in Thanksgiving decor ideas. Bowtie is a household favorite shape that can be folded quickly using the following steps:

  • Fold the top and bottom of your square-shaped napkin so that the two ends meet in the middle.
  • Fold the opposite sides too inwards to form a square.
  • Flip it over so that the folds face the flat surface.
  • Pinch the center to form 3 creases and secure it gently with a napkin ring.

4. Apple Candleholders

If you have leftover apples from whipping up that yummy pie, use some creativity to turn them into candlesticks! Here’s how you can quickly turn the fruit into a candlestick:

  • Cut out a 1 inch-deep hole on top of a few apples to match the size of your candles.
  • Make the holes slightly narrower than your candles and prop the candles in.
  • Display alongside other apples, leaves, and cake stands.

5. Cinnamon Stick Placecard Holder

Want to treat your guests to the sweet smell of spices? Take cinnamon sticks, wrap the ends in warm-colored twines, and place the name cards on the stick’s crevice to create scented place cardholders. This Thanksgiving decor for home is sure to grab eyeballs!
