2. Use Lacquer Art Trays as Centerpieces
Who says trays are just for serving?
Our lacquer trays aren’t for sure! With their unique, stand-out designs they can be used as the base for a stunning DIY centerpiece.
Take the Protea Pink Serving Tray , for instance. Place it in the center of your table, then add some candles of various heights and some seasonal greenery.
Or pick the Persimmons Art Tray and fill it with a mix of pumpkins, candles, and some autumn flowers to add a burst of vibrant color to your Thanksgiving home decoration .
The tray not only grounds your centerpiece but also adds a beautiful design element.
DIY Tip: Incorporate small decorative gourds, acorns, or pinecones around the edges of the tray to boost that autumn theme.
3. Hang a Festive Wreath on Your Front Door
Welcome your guests by setting the celebration tone from your doorstep with a festive wreath.
A simple yet utterly symbolic Thanksgiving DIY decoration. Just pick up some autumn leaves, mini pumpkins, and twine, and attach them to a simple grapevine wreath frame.

4. Use a Reusable Tote as a Pumpkin Carrier – and Not Only
Oh, those reusable shopping totes are so versatile! They can even work as home décor too!
Here is the idea – Instead of just carrying your pumpkins from market to home with these stylish companions, why not use some inspiration?
Once you’re home, these totes can double as casual decor—just leave one filled with mini pumpkins near your entryway for a quick, easy, and rustic look. Opt for the Anemone Poppy or the Citrus Red reusable shopping bag with distinct fall colors.
The rockflowepaper reusable shopping bags come in beautiful patterns and vibrant colors to add another festive touch to your decoration.
5. Decorate House Corners with Scarves and Throws
Scarves aren’t just for wearing and throws are not just for throwing them on the couch. They can both double as home decor, too!
For instance, you can drape this colorful and cozy scarf over the back of dining chairs, use it as a table runner, or even layer it on the couch for an added touch of warmth.
Similarly, you can turn some throws into bows and hang them on your walls or windows, adding an artistic vibe to your Thanksgiving home decoration.
6. Offer Personalized Favors in Gift Bags
Thanksgiving is all about gratitude.
So, is there a better way to express your appreciation to your friends and family than offering them a gift bag with a personalized favor in it?

Even some homemade cookies will work. Place your favors in different gift bags and hang a small card with your loved ones' names on their handles.
Pile them up in a corner and ask your guests to discover which one is for each of them. You’ll have a Thanksgiving DIY decoration and a way to lift everybody’s mood in just one package!

And not only to serve your cocktails. On the contrary, there are many other ways to use colorful, multi-designed paper napkins to bring the festive aura into your Thanksgiving gatherings.

Fold them around your wine bottles or tie them in bows and hang them over your dining table for more festive vibes.
DIY Tip : Grab some packs and pair them with matching trays, placemats, and dinner napkins for an elevated put-together effect.
9. Scatter Pumpkin Candle Holders All Over
