Thanksgiving is a time when we celebrate the bounty of our harvests and gratitude for what we have. So while you’re making your Thanksgiving menu this year, take some time to make your home and table match the beauty of the food you’ll be serving. Try out these beautiful, rustic Thanksgiving decorations in your home this year.
19 Creative Thanksgiving Decorations You’ll Wish You’d Thought Of YourselfDitch the glitter and glam and make these easy, creative & rustic Thanksgiving decorations instead. I know most people would want everything sparkling and glittering, but not me. Probably because I’ve always loved a rustic and homey look or maybe just because I can’t picture my homestead with a little shimmer. I don’t think that will be very practical. But hey, that’s just me. If we have the same taste for decor or if you want to try and tone down the glitter this year, pick a couple from this list. You can even do it last minute!
1. Pumpkin Decorative Tabletop

Pumpkins aren’t only for Halloween. They also make the best Thanksgiving decorations. You can keep them how they are and just add a little extra, or you can also paint them.
2. Burlap Wreath

Pinecones also make amazing name cards. You don’t have to alter the shape in any way, you just have to place the name card on top and done. And just in case you want to get ahead on your holiday decoration too, use these pine cone decorating ideas.
7. Gilded fruits

Go ahead, gild all the fruits you want. It’s an easy process you can easily do in minutes. You can use real ones, or if you want to conserve on food, plastic fruits will do just fine.

Either do this yourself or have your kids decorate their table. All you’ll need is some burlap, paint and your creativity. You can stick to circles or let your kids’ imagination run wild with the design.

Used tin cans add a rustic touch to the autumn-colored flowers. All you’ll have to do is the arrangement.
11. The Thankful Pumpkin

Paint your pumpkin white and use a marker or you can also use chalkboard paint as an alternative option. Pass the pumpkin around you family members and have each of you write what you’re thankful for. Once done, have it as your centerpiece to remind you of all the good things.
12. Apple Votives

13. Cornstalk Decor

Use leftover wine corks a creative way to mark your guests place at the table this Thanksgiving. I can’t think of a better way to remind them it’s Thanksgiving than with a cute turkey-inspired craft.
17. Leaf Garland

Instead of raking your leaves into garbage bags or your compost, try stringing up all the beautiful colors of fall on your mantle. You’ll just need some twine, and a really big needle.
18. Spool and Photo Name Card

To help guests find their place at your table, print out a snapshot of them and stick it into a slit cut into an old wooden spool. This makes it a lot more personalized than having just their names.
19. Crafty Kids Table

All you need for this one is a little butcher paper, a sharpie to draw faux ‘placemats’ and some crayons for your youngest guests to decorate in their own special way.
