Making crafts for Thanksgiving is a fun way to be creative and celebrate Thanksgiving. You can make fun turkey, pilgrim and native American crafts and decorations for your table setting or just to give the kids something to do that teaches them a little about our history.

Thanksgiving is a great time of year to get together with friends and family and do holiday projects with the kids. It really helps everyone get into the holiday spirit and express their creativity. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful and you can also teach little ones about the pilgrims and their journey to a new world.

To me it seems like everybody is 10x more excited and started decorating right after thanksgiving. Does anybody else agree?

I think those of us in SoCal are decorating early because we just went through horrific fires. Christmas reminds us to be generous to those who lost their homes and to be thankful that we have homes to decorate.

My decorating is mainly color scheme oriented. Halloween and Christmas have such clearly defined color schemes. But Thanksgiving??? I am filled with dread at the thought of deciding between all the possible colors schemes that have been appropriate in the past. What if they aren’t appropriate this year? What will my friends – dedicated decorators one and all – what will they say about me behind my back if I choose an unfashionable Thanksgiving color scheme??? Help me. Help me please.

"I am filled with dread at the thought of deciding between all the possible colors schemes that have been appropriate in the past."

Are you kidding? In the grand scheme of things a color scheme is very unimportant. It should not be a decision that fills you w/ dread. You should not be so overly concerned w/ what your friends think.

Classic fall colors are always appropriate. Actually, anything that looks nice w/ the decor of your home is appropriate. You can go outside the box.

I once did a formal Thanksgiving dinner in navy and pink. It went w/ the Evesham china I had and the navy was a nice under cloth for an ecru Victorian crocheted tablecloth my grandmother had made. In the center of the table I had a collection of mismatched brass candlesticks of different heights w/ dusty rose tapers that matched the napkins (yes, it was the eighties).

Use what you have and put it together in a new way. Since gold is so abundant in nature you can work it into your palette as either a color or a metal.

I am still at my aunts house

my 10 year old cousin wants to make some thing for thanksgiving to put around the house to decorate

Do you have any ideas for her?

While your at it any ideas for christmas?

Here are some of the Thanksgiving Decoration ideas, which you can use to make your
Harvest Fall Festival lively, colorful and bright. Check these out:

1.Autumn Door Wreath: This decorates you doors and windows and welcome your family, friends and relatives. This can be hand made. Only you require a cardboard, dry twigs, water color paints. With the cardboard form the words ‘autumn’ and paint it. Sew the words together also attaching the twigs. Then hang them it on the door.

2.Clay Coasters: These coasters are made from clay, glaze paper, and paint. These hand made coasters look beautiful and enthralling on the Fall Celebration.

3. Cranberry Centerpiece: This can be prepared by using an old candleholder, ribbons, multi colored silk, dried cones and leaves. This can be put on the plate sprinkled with dried cones and leaves. This makes an ideal dinner table Thanksgiving Decoration piece.

4. Dried Wheat Bundles: These are made from dried wheat, dried cone sticks and colorful satin ribbons. This is also a perfect hand made Thanksgiving Decoration item.

5.Pumpkin Centerpiece: This is an easiest hand made centerpiece. Swirl a natural or artificial vine around a fat pumpkin. Yet another perfect Thanksgiving Decoration product.

I love Love LOVE the holidays! It starts with us decorating for halloween, then thanksgiving, and then of course the big one Christmas! As of right now I only have a few Thanksgiving decorations like place mats and a harvest center piece. I was just wondering what everyone else does to decorate for this holiday of family and giving thanks?

I’ve never decorated for thanksgiving because we’re always out whole day at our inlaws house which is alot of fun. I do decorate for christmas. Halloween I’m never home always out at parties.

my family has thanksgiving dinner every year at my parent’s house, who i live with, and every year it looks the same: plain. (my mom isnt really big on decorations). this year i want to decorate the house and make it look really nice, but my mom is spending pretty much all of her extra money on food, and i am collecting unemployment, so with my bills i can’t buy hardly anything. what are some inexpensive ideas i could use to put that extra touch in my house for thanksgiving?

See the problem is now most dollar stores have all their Christmas items out. If you would have asked this right after Halloween you may have been able to find more things at the dollar stores. You can try the dollar stores. They may have some window stickies and some fall flowers and baskets. You can put some fall flowers and leaves into a small basket and there you have an arrangement. Look for some cheap figurines of pilgrims, indians, and turkeys.

I was asked to be the decorator for Thanksgiving, and I need some ideas that will impress. Thanks!

Lol…I was asking the same thing last week..
Everyone told me, thanksgiving decorations were really hard to find.. So, I’m doing a classy christmas decoration with no christmas tree just yet… Good luck!
You can try going to walmart they still have a couple of Thanksgiving decorations, very few… Or target…
If not go with the christmas theme as well… What i did was buy some metal chritmas trees that go on top of the fireplace, Autumn flowers, Scented candles (spice from Bath and body works) Some small tree decors for the walls, etc…

How can I decorate my house for thanksgiving without spending a lot of money? I mean everyone knows how to decorate for Christmas but I have no clue what to do for thanksgiving… Thanks for any help!

Some of the best decorations I have seem are from your own yard/garden. Bowls of fall leaves, gourds and pumpkins, decorative corn, jars of canning, buy some fabric in this theme for a tablecloth.
