DIY Rustic Wood-Framed Sign by The Craft Patch

Thanksgiving is all about getting together with your loved ones, and what better way to show your family how much you care than by decorating your home with festive, personalized touches? DIY projects are a great way to add unique, personal flair to your holiday decor, and this rustic wood-framed sign is the perfect example.

To make your own, you'll need a wood sign, painters tape, craft paint, wood stain, a cutting machine, adhesive vinyl, and transfer tape. First, tape off the border of your wood sign to protect it from paint. Then, paint the background any color you like.

Next, use your cutting machine to cut out a design from adhesive vinyl. Weed your design, then apply it to the wood sign using transfer tape. Carefully rub the design onto the sign, then slowly peel away the transfer tape. That's it! You now have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving decoration that your family will love.

Modern Leather Placemats by Sugar and Cloth

For this one, we're going modern with our Thanksgiving placemats by using leather instead of the traditional fabric. This look can easily be achieved with a Cricut Maker and some genuine leather (or even a piece of fabric, if you prefer).

Of course, you can always use images supplied in Cricut Design Space to create your own custom placemats, but the tutorial linked above has free printable download for you to use. All in all, it's a pretty simple process -- just connect your Cricut Maker to your computer, load in your design, select your material, and hit the 'go' button. In no time at all, you'll have beautiful leather placemats that are perfect for any Thanksgiving feast!

Gratitude Tree With Acorn Favors by The House That Lars Built

This DIY Gratitude Tree tutorial comes in two parts: making the paper leaves and eos acorns. But don't fret--this project is easy and can be done in an afternoon!

For this one, you'll have to use eos Acorns so that the top is flat and the bottom is pointy. You'll also need crepe paper in shades of gold and brown, scissors, hot glue, and twine.

As for the paper leaves, you'll need cardstock in shades of pink, orange, yellow, and cream. Again, use a leaf template to make it easier. Once you have your leaves, punch a hole at the top of each one and thread a piece of twine through it. Tie a knot to create a loop and hang them on the tree.

Overall, this is a fun and easy way to decorate for Thanksgiving!

Conclusion
