Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas
Go on a nature
walk with your kids and collect items like colored leaves, acorns, and pine
cones. Place in a basket and use as a centerpiece or a table
decoration
Using a
heavy-duty needle and thread, create a holiday garland by stringing dried
apples
Place fall
colored soaps and decorative hand towels in your bathroom
Create a fall
scent by boiling a little water and adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and
cloves.
Hollow out the
center of a pumpkin or squash and use as a serving bowl for items like
relishes and dips
Make a holiday
wreath: Buy an inexpensive grapevine wreath and hot-glue fall items to
it such as pine cones, tiny gourds, Indian corn, acorns, etc. Top it
off with a fall colored bow.
Shop thrift
stores for wicker baskets. First clean the baskets with hot, soapy
water. After they are dry, you can spray paint in a fall color like rust, brown, or dark green.
Decorate with raffia, fall-colored ribbons, etc. You can also use a hot
glue gun to attach Indian corn. Use the matching baskets to hold napkins
and silverware, or use as serving pieces for rolls at your Thanksgiving table.
