Thanksgiving Table Decorations

Make a Beautiful Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece

Thanksgiving table decorations can add some warmth and beauty to your Thanksgiving dinner. Here's an easy Thanksgiving centerpiece idea that you can make yourself using fall decorations you may have on hand.

Making Thanksgiving table decorations yourself is so easy. My Mom shared this one with me and it couldn't be any easier or cheaper. How did we do it? I took down my fall wreath which was hanging in my kitchen. Then I bought a pumpkin from the craft store that was on sale for 75% off, so cost for it .. $1.29. Since it is after Halloween, all the autumn and Halloween decorations are unbelievably cheap. Put the pumpkin in the center of the wreath and it makes for a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Thought it came out great, then in checking my attic, I found 2 wooden Pilgrim candlestick holders. Thinking those were stored up there from one of the kid's school projects! Lesson learned, don't throw anything out! Dusted them off and added to the Thanksgiving centerpiece. A cute extra touch! Now that your table is ready, plan a fun family game while you are eating. Two of our favorites are Turkey Trivia and Turkey Tunes

Here is the original one that Grandma made for her table!

One of my favorite blogs, The Gourmet Rooster had another cute idea for making Thanksgiving centerpieces out of recycled autumn decorations using your pumpkins. Don't throw them out quite yet if they are still good.. spray paint them in metallic and fall colors and use to decorate for Thanksgiving.
