How to Decorate for Thanksgiving on a Budget

Everyone loves the holiday season, but all the pressure to make it fun and enjoyable for every member of the family can be stressful. Aside from choosing unique gifts for loved ones, there’s also the anxiety of how to decorate your home without breaking your holiday budget. If you’re hosting this year’s annual Thanksgiving dinner, we’ve gathered a few tips to help you create a cozy, warm environment for friends and family to gather and give thanks: Creative Placemats: Using a simple large sheet of paper and a letter stencil, write a prompt for guests to list five things they are thankful for. This provides both a practical decoration, as well as a classic Thanksgiving activity and conversation starter. DIY Pumpkin Flower Vases: Instead of getting a fancy, glass vase to hold your flowers, use a hollowed-out pumpkin to arrange flowers or use as a centerpiece. Frame Your Photos of Past Thanksgiving Dinners: Using custom holiday frames from GiftWorksPlus, create a collage of old Thanksgiving and holiday photos to display during Thanksgiving dinner. Pinecone Door Décor: Collect some pretty pinecones from outside and tie them to a colorful ribbon. Once you have collected and tied several pinecones, tie all the ribbons together in a knot and hang the creative piece on your front door for a festive, fall decoration. Outdoor Ambience: Using a candle tray, collect some small acorns and place candles in the center of the tray. Then use a couple metal graters to cover the candles to create a soft, cozy atmosphere for Thanksgiving dinner. The gathering of your family also means it’s time for some new holiday photos! And GiftWorksPlus has all the family frames and custom holiday frames you need to display your favorite pics.
