60 Pinterest-Worthy DIY Thanksgiving Decorations That Are Easy to Make

Break out your stretchiest pants, because Thanksgiving is coming. But before you can sit back to enjoy all those autumnal desserts and a Thanksgiving movie marathon, there are a few things to square away—particularly if you're hosting.

It all begins with your home decor. Adding a few thoughtful touches both indoors and outdoors (think: pretty fall wreaths, and painted pumpkins) helps build anticipation and set the tone for the big day. And you don't have to head to your local Walmart to do so—in fact, you don't even have to log on to Amazon! There are plenty of simple ways to add cute, Pinterest-worthy DIY Thanksgiving decorations to your space with things you already have in your immediate surroundings.

Try crafting an acorn-covered vase to add oomph to your table's centerpiece or clipping greenery to create place cards, for example. You can even include the kids by having them create easy turkey decorations or a DIY cornucopia for the dessert buffet.

With a little creativity, the options are endless, but these budget-friendly ideas should inspire you to let your inner crafter run wild. (Yep, even if you're a beginner!)
