11. Thanksgiving Living Room Decor
Make your guests feel welcome with a warmly and naturally decorated living room. Include seasonal elements around your homestead for your indoor decors like pumpkins, fall leaves, pine cones, and mums.

Dress up your front yard with some natural, fall-inspired beauty. Why waste perfectly good corn stalks when you can transform them into this lovely lamp post and mailbox?

Wrap up your white candles in birch bark for a rustic, sophisticated look–so simple, it’s ingenious! Set it on a tabletop, mantel, or even your Thanksgiving table centerpiece.
16. Wine Cork Turkey Name Cards
Use leftover wine corks as a creative way to mark your guests’ places at the table this Thanksgiving. I can’t think of a better way to remind them it’s Thanksgiving than with a cute turkey-inspired craft.

Instead of raking your leaves into garbage bags or your compost, try stringing up all the beautiful colors of fall on your mantle. You’ll just need some twine and a really big needle.
18. Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece
Put all the elements of the season in a box for your Thanksgiving centerpieces. Candles for warmth, pumpkins for the bountiful harvest, flowers or foliage for beauty, and pine cones for charm.
