We never did much Thanksgiving decor in my family.

I collected a couple different lichens, mosses, small branches, and pinecones last year. Mom arranged them with fairy lights in two large apocathary jars for Thanksgiving and Christmas table decor.

SIL asked her what craft store she bought everything at so she could make one for her mom. She was a bit put out because I can't just give her more since we live 4.5 hours away.

So anything can make a good decoration if you look at it right.

I've used baskets of garden produce in the past. So pretty!

i'm a beano so a nice clear jar with different layers of colored beans in there.

i actually have blue beans now (but not enough yet) that i can eventually do a red white and blue version of something some day. i may have to figure out some kind of sealant for the beans though because the blue beans eventually get darker and i'd want to keep the bright blue if i could...

You got us started on corn husk decorations. Thank you! 😍

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but harvest/fall decorations are our favorite craft activities. Haven’t done much this year… I should get on that…

We don't celebrate the whole European invasion and First Nations genocide Thanksgiving thing. No pilgrim hats or Native American symbols for me. We celebrate the harvest season with a meal that is as homegrown as possible. I like a little decor for the cold weather holidays. It helps break up the monotony of winter.

I like cutting plants and drying them for decor most of the time. Or just picking up moss, leaves, and sticks. I should have dried some of the tops of the corn stalks to take to Mom but forgot and it's too late for that now.

One year I found some pretty branches (crabapple tree, I think) and put them in a vase. I cut out leaf shapes and we wrote what we were thankful for and hung them on the branches. I should do that again this year, DS6 was too young to remember it.

Pine cones. Cut out a turkey head of red construction paper, draw a face on it and glue in a pine cone. Toothpick legs, it's ok to cheat and use 4 LOL. Draw and cut out a fan tail, glue at back, (wide end) of pine cone.

Pine cones also make good Christmas tree decorations, great to do with little kids. Spray paint them. Roll in bowls of clue, then in bowls of glitter. Can do with sweet gum tree balls too.
