1. Neutral Mantle

One of the best things about the farmhouse design style is all the neutral colors. You can get an instant Thanksgiving feel by incorporating lots of whites and sage green colors, like the pumpkins in this photo. Add in some dried silver dollar eucalyptus or faux baby’s breath and lavender against some wooden elements like candle holders, and your mantle is instant Harvest!

2. Tiered Tray

If you don’t have a tiered tray in your holiday decor lineup, you’re missing out. Whether you plan to serve copious amounts of dessert, or want to turn it into a display this multi-level piece is a must. Grab an old or vintage-inspired design in galvanized metal or chipped wood and load up with plenty of Thanksgiving pieces like pumpkins and berry sprigs. Don’t forget the “blessed” and “gather” signs!

3. Buffalo Check

Adding the iconic checked pattern is a no-brainer when it comes to farmhouse feels. It’s a simple way to warm up your decor and make it fall-friendly! Add some throw pillows, a blanket or spruce up your table design with something fun like these fabric pumpkins––buffalo check is the way to go!

4. Add Texture

You don’t have to add decor pieces that are overtly “Thanksgiving!” Forego the “blessed” signs and swap in some textured wreaths and patterned pillows and you’ll easily pull off that farmhouse vibe.

5. Magnolia Leaf Garland

Joanna Gaines, farmhouse and Magnolias are practically synonymous. This year for Thanksgiving, dress up your tables cape with some faux or fresh Magnolia leaves as a nice departure from the dried look that usually accompanies harvest decor. Toss in pumpkins of any color, and ok fine––that “thankful” sign, too.

Make Thanksgiving Fun With These Free Printable Stickers!

Thanksgiving is a special time for getting together with friends and family, enjoying tasty food and being grateful for what we have. It is also a busy time. Planning dinner, decorating the house and getting many other things done during preparations can be time consuming and often stressful. If you add the energetic kids running around the house, everything becomes even harder to manage. Here are some tips on how to keep the little ones busy and entertained while you’re making preparations for this glorious holiday. These free colorful Thanksgiving stickers will help you out in that venture!

Set A Kid-Friendly Table

Arranging a separate kid-friendly table for Thanksgiving can get the youngsters very excited. Just print out these stickers on a regular or self-adhesive paper and jazz their dinner table up. For example, to make finding their seat fun for them, you can use the labels to decorate each seating with cards that have each kid’s name on them.

With all that festive energy in the house, chances are the children aren’t going to be much interested in eating. Hence, decorating the food can attract their attention and inspire them to try different dishes. Cut out a few labels, write down some funky names, messages or jokes and apply the labels on food dishes or napkins next to the plates. If you write “What are unhappy cranberries called? Blueberries!” on a blueberries bowl, or “What’s the best thing to put into a pumpkin pie? Your teeth!” they’ll surely be more eager to try those “sad cranberries” and put their teeth into the pumpkin pie. 🙂

Prepare Small, Yummy Gifts

Sweets are something that all kids love for sure. Bake delicious Thanksgiving cookies and put them in bags or mason jars. Decorate them with labels, add a funny joke or a warm blessing and it will be enough to make this Turkey Day joyful for the kids.

Get Kids To Participate In The Decoration Process

Print some extra sticker sheets and let the kids make their own festive creations. What can be more entertaining than making their own Thanksgiving decoration crafts? You can give them suggestions, such as to gather a few dead branches and put them in a jar, write what they’re thankful for on the labels and then stick them to branches. You can even declare this project as the most creative and make it the centerpiece of their table.

 

So simple and so much fun. Download our printables and have a lot of family fun for Thanksgiving!

7 DIY Thanksgiving Wreath Designs To Make Your Home Extra Fancy

written by Karly Wood

The holiday season is upon us and that means lots of options for decorating! I love changing my decor for the seasons, even if it’s something as simple as a wreath to welcome guests on my front door. I’ve never had a wreath specifically for Thanksgiving, but I’m going to give it a try this year. For some inspiration, I’ve rounded up a fun list of easy DIY Thanksgiving wreath designs that are perfect for this year.

1. Give Thanks

This simple grapevine wreath with the burlap bunting keeps the focus on the message of giving thanks. You can purchase pre-made wreath forms at any craft store and they are very inexpensive. Make some freezer paper stencils, paint away on precut bunting made from burlap, and hang. This may be my next project!

Find this craft and tons of super helpful tutorials at Makeit-Loveit.com.

2. Fall Hydrangeas

The message on this wreath mirrors our previous one, but the look is completely different. Fake hydrangea blooms in warm autumn colors are arranged into a grapevine wreath. This wreath looks so full and bountiful! It’s the perfect complement to your Thanksgiving decor, especially with the simple “give thanks” signage.

Head to TheTurquoiseHome.com for the full tutorial on this wreath!

3. Harvest

When I think of Thanksgiving I often imagine pumpkins, leaves and amazing smells. This wreath is different from most because it’s packed with cinnamon sticks and dried oranges- the scents of Fall! Faux leaves and sprigs of other autumn-friendly flora make up the rest of the colors atop a grapevine wreath (are we seeing a pattern yet?). Gorgeous!

You can find the full how-to at ArtsyChicksRule.com.

4. Indian Corn Wreath

You can’t deny the wow factor in this wreath! It’s large and vibrant and is definitely the focal point of your home decor, inside or out. Once you’ve got your hands on the dried Indian corn, simply hot glue to a straw wreath form in the size of your choice and then hang for all to see!

You’ll find more info on this craft at StoneGableBlog.com, along with other design and decor ideas for your home.

5. Sunshine Wreath

At first glance, this wreath doesn’t overtly look like something for Thanksgiving. But the warm marigold colors and rustic twigs make this just feel Fall-ish! This is mostly made with things from around the house, like cardboard, twigs from outside and strips of fabric made into rosettes. It’s a handmade wreath that gives you all the feels.

Check out the full tutorial at YellowMums.blogspot.com.

6. Autumn Metallics

This is probably one of the most inexpensive wreath crafts on this list, with much of the supplies coming from your local dollar store! The brass hoops and leaves were only $1, and were sprayed with beautiful metallic spray paints of nickel, copper and gold. Tip: never buy spray paint at your local craft store- it’s WAY more expensive. Instead get it from a home improvement store for half the cost. You’ll be making this beautiful wreath in no time!

Check out LemonThistle.com for this design and other fun and easy crafts.

7. Basket Wreath

An old basket top, dollar store flowers and a little bit of thanks are all it takes to get this totally unique Thanksgiving wreath. I love the neutral colors and all the texture that the basket brings in, don’t you?

This centerpiece is perfect if you will be hosting a large crowd this Thanksgiving and have a long table.

Drill out some holes for tea lights, and then surround the branch with leaves and pumpkins. This is a one of a kind piece and you may already have all the accessories you need!

4. Table of Thanks

No matter your table design, this idea will go with any style.

You can print on any color and style of paper to coordinate with your table. Guests will appreciate the ability to reflect on their many blessings.

5. Wooden Box Centerpiece

I love the idea of this piece because once you have a box, you can completely customize it for any time of the year! The designer of this particular piece crafter her own, but you can easily use a planter or flower box if you aren’t that handy. All you need to do is add some Spanish moss, candles other festive berries and accessories you can find for a few bucks at any craft store. Beautiful!

7. Something For The Kids

If you have a big family, chances are you have a kids Thanksgiving Table. They’ve come a long way since I was a kid, where we were relegated to the folding card table with cheapy chairs. These days, moms go all out, like the table in the photo above. You can create a space your kids won’t mind sitting at, much less eating! Kraft paper, crayons and snacks are all it takes to make the ultimate kids table.
