Thanksgiving can sometimes feel like the middle child, sandwiched between Halloween and Christmas, right in the middle of an incredibly busy time of year for almost everyone! \u00a0However, it is a beautiful holiday and I often get requests for ideas for Thanksgiving decor. \u00a0Today, I’m sharing a really easy DIY Thanksgiving garland decorations and ideas that you can either make or purchase. \u00a0Plus, I’ll show you how I styled them so you can make your decorating even easier!<\/p>\n
Most of us probably focus the most on Thanksgiving table decor. \u00a0However, what I love about each of the ideas I’m going to share in this post is that you can use them in a variety of places and different ways.<\/p>\n
Turn a simple Thanksgiving garland into an easy centerpiece<\/strong> for the dinner table or a focal point for gathering around the fireplace mantel. \u00a0You can even string them across a front door, on a porch, or add to a wall or buffet for a quick Thanksgiving decor addition. \u00a0I even took one of them and twisted into an easy Thanksgiving wreath too!<\/p>\n There is certainly enough to do with preparing Thanksgiving dinner, getting ready for guests, and trying to enjoy the season of gratefulness without adding stressful seasonal decor, right?!<\/p>\n Holiday banners and garlands can add a festive touch while being super quick and easy to style. \u00a0Keep reading for a few favorites, including a really easy DIY with natural materials and autumnal colors!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Indian-corn-garland-1-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Indian corn garland 1″ admin_label=”IMG indian corn garland 1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Thrifting with the gals” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u200bFirst, though, let me introduce you to my Thrifting With the Gals friends! \u00a0We join together once a month to share our thrifted and vintage finds, home decor tips, and even easy DIY ideas. \u00a0We also host a guest each month and it is so fun to see everyone’s ideas.<\/p>\n Today, of course, is full of seasonal inspiration<\/strong>! \u00a0I will share each of their ideas and links at the end of this post for your convenience, too. \u00a0I guarantee that you’ll love them all!<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Table of Contents DRAFT” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Close-up-neutral-Thanksgiving-garland–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Close up neutral Thanksgiving garland” admin_label=”IMG close up neutral Thanksgiving garland 2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Mixing the Old and the New” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n No matter the season, mixing a few new pieces with your vintage home decor can be a budget-friendly and effective way to create a festive feeling. \u00a0Whether seasonal decor is thrifted, found in an after-season clearance sale, or even picked from the produce section at the grocery store, it doesn’t have to break the bank!<\/p>\n Most of my own home decor is vintage and thrifted from flea markets, vintage markets, antique malls, and even yard sales.<\/strong> \u00a0When it comes to making it festive and cozy for Thanksgiving, these budget-friendly beautiful garland ideas are perfect to mix into almost any style of home decor.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Wire-pumpkin-garland–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Wire pumpkin garland” admin_label=”IMG wire pumpkin garland” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=” DIY Thanksgiving Garland Ideas” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A flea market or produce stand is going to be your best friend for this simple DIY garland. \u00a0My favorite thing about it is that it uses natural materials, soft fall colors, and blends perfectly into my natural and simple vintage-style Thanksgiving decor this year! \u00a0I already had everything on hand, leftover from other things, so this little DIY ended up not costing me any extra. \u00a0However, if you want to create one, I’ll link the materials below.<\/p>\n \u200bFirst, measure the space where you want to hang this garland.<\/strong> \u00a0I chose my fireplace mantel since the corn husks and natural materials blend so beautifully with my decor.<\/p>\n Secondly, space out the Indian corn. \u00a0I didn’t worry about making it look too precise.<\/strong> \u00a0Since I was going for more of a primitive look, a little irregularity actually worked perfectly.<\/p>\n Next, I tied my Indian corn onto the jute twine. \u00a0Actually, I wrapped most of the pieces so I could slide them around on the twine. \u00a0However, a couple of them fell when I was hanging it up. \u00a0Lesson learned: if you want to make sure they are super secure for the long haul, tie them instead!<\/p>\n Finally, I cut a piece of velvet ribbon and tied a simple knot around each piece of Indian corn. \u00a0A bow would be pretty also. \u00a0<\/strong>However, I wanted a more simple look, so I used a simple knot. \u00a0The fringed velvet ribbon adds a beautiful touch while still pairing nicely with the primitive style.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Another diy Thanksgiving decorations idea is to use extra husks and wire them together. \u00a0Then, tie them to a ribbon or twine for a beautiful Thanksgiving garland to enjoy for the holiday season. \u00a0The neutral tones will go with any Thanksgiving theme! \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n I did not actually make my corn husk garland as I purchased it from a market vendor. \u00a0However, it would be simple to make if you have extra husks and a little time!<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Materials–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Materials” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/INdianCorn” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG materials” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Close-up-corn-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Close up corn” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/INdianCorn” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG close up corn” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Finished-product–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Finished product” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/INdianCorn” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG finished product” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Easy Thanksgiving Garland and Decoration Ideas with Greenery” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There is something about the fall and Thanksgiving seasons that make me want to really focus on using natural materials and taking my cues from nature. \u00a0Even though dried elements are most common for Thanksgiving decorating, I do love using greenery also<\/strong>. \u00a0Since pine, cedar, and evergreen are what is still green out in nature by the end of November, those are the greenery elements I like to use.<\/p>\n Tip: \u00a0<\/strong>Getting some of your winter greenery fluffed to use at Thanksgiving is a great way to easily transition into Christmas decor too!<\/em><\/p>\n My favorite way to use greenery for Thanksgiving is on my table setting or fireplace mantel. \u00a0Often, I’ll add some to both places for Thanksgiving decorating.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes, I go ahead and put winter greens around the door frame and other places too. \u00a0Then, I can just leave them up for Christmas! \u00a0Mixed with Thanksgiving accessories, they add a very cozy and warm feeling to our home and I enjoy that so much!<\/p>\n Magnolia leaves are also beautiful to mix in with the winter greenery.<\/strong> \u00a0My Thanksgiving wreath for my door is made with magnolia leaves and I love the different colors for fall. \u00a0Besides wreaths, you could also take pretty magnolia leaves and tuck them into greenery or floral arrangements on a centerpiece too.<\/p>\n Tip: \u00a0Layer different greenery elements for a more full look on your dinner table in the dining room. \u00a0Since the theme of Thanksgiving is gratefulness and abundance, a really full look is perfect!<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Close-up-greenery-1-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Close up greenery 1″ url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/jqSro” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG close up greenery 1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Close-up-greenery-2-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Close up greenery 2″ url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/jqSro” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG close up greenery 2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Wide-angle-Thanksgiving-greenery-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Wide angle Thanksgiving greenery” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/jqSro” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG wide angle Thanksgiving greenery” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=” Easy Thanksgiving Garland and Decoration Ideas with Pumpkins” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Pumpkin decor and Thanksgiving just go hand in hand! \u00a0I came across a couple of really pretty garlands using mini pumpkins.<\/p>\n THIS<\/u> one uses string light and adorable grapevine wreath mini pumpkins<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Some little berries add the bright oranges for the fall season. \u00a0We used it for decoration for an event at school and it looked adorable! \u00a0You could also add it to a greenery garland for a fun touch or even mix it into your dining table centerpiece!<\/p>\n THIS<\/u> garland uses neutral tones with a lot of white and light tans<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0The mini pumpkins and leaf shapes mixed with pine cones makes for a beautiful autumn decor piece. \u00a0I absolutely love how it looks on my mantel. \u00a0It blends perfectly with the soft fall colors of my dried gourds.<\/p>\n At the same time, it would be a stunning centerpiece<\/u><\/a><\/strong> for your Thanksgiving dinner table too! \u00a0Simply lay it down the middle of the table and mix in some pretty candlesticks. \u00a0I especially love THESE<\/u> vintage inspired brass deer candlesticks<\/a><\/strong> mixed with regular brass candlesticks! \u00a0Of course, I love adding my flameless taper candles<\/u><\/a><\/strong> that work with a remote and have a timer. \u00a0I added these realistic wax finish spiral candles<\/u><\/a><\/strong> this year!<\/p>\n An easy way to do a fun craft for a Thanksgiving activity would be to make your own pumpkin garland.<\/strong><\/p>\n To make a simple DIY Thanksgiving garland with pumpkins, simply take a pretty ribbon or twine. \u00a0Purchase faux pumpkins HERE<\/u><\/strong> <\/a>or from your local craft store or even dollar store. \u00a0Then, use the hot glue gun to attach the faux pumpkin. \u00a0For an extra touch of fall colors, add faux leaves or faux flowers, attached with a piece of floral wire.<\/p>\n Tip<\/strong>: Especially for the fall season, simple materials like ribbon, twine, and a hot glue gun can help you make many different kinds of DIY Thanksgiving decorations! \u00a0You can even use free natural materials that you find outside or extra decorations you may already have on hand. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Wide-angle-neutral-Thanksgiving-garland–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Wide angle neutral Thanksgiving garland” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/6wjmt” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG wide angle neutral Thanksgiving garland” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/String-light–scaled.jpg” title_text=”String light” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/6wjmt” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG string lights” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Other DIY Thanksgiving Decorations” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Over on THIS<\/u> post<\/a><\/strong>, you can find some really easy DIY place cards and decor ideas for place settings too.<\/p>\n I have free printables<\/a><\/strong><\/span> available, also, that are perfect for individualizing guests’ place settings for Thanksgiving dinner. \u00a0You can find those HERE!<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n You can also shop my curated collections of Thanksgiving table decor essentials HERE<\/u><\/a><\/strong> <\/u>and some of my favorite Thanksgiving decorations HERE<\/u>!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Close-up-greenery-3-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Close up greenery 3″ admin_label=”IMG close up greenery 3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”wrap up” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As you are planning for the big day of celebrating with a delicious Thanksgiving meal, I hope your home and heart feel warm with remembrance of so many blessings and reasons to be thankful!<\/p>\n And I hope this post inspires a fun idea you can use to make your home special and inviting for the whole family this year at Thanksgiving!
