Thanksgiving Pretties - Day 7

Day 7 - Home Decor

Day 7 of Thanksgiving Inspiration focuses on Home Decor and fall crafts. Too bad we don’t have another week before Thanksgiving!

Joys of Home made this little sign of the season as a visual reminder of what we need to be thinking and hooked you up with a tutorial. Love the header in her blog too!

Melanie gives us her Thankful Banner tutorial. It’s a fabric and paper holiday banner pennant to hang from the fireplace. Love all the banner ideas that are popping up every where! It’s a fun and inexpensive craft.
Jennifer gives us her paper Turkey hand print wreath tutorial, turkey spoon craft, Indian dolls, and lots of other fun Thanksgiving crafts. My favorite is the Pilgrim & Indian dolls that you can use as place cards since there are pictures of everyone. Go to the Thanksgiving crafts link above and scroll down about 1/3 of the page.
Robin did a Give Thanks Banner. It looks like it's a Thanksgiving Advent Calendar that has pockets for notes of what you're grateful for. Lots of cutting involved with this one and I doubt any of us could get it done between now and Thanksgiving but there’s always next year!

These pretties are over at The Memory Zone. They made a few table decorations from their scrap stash. Did you know that you can go to your local Ben Franklin, purchase cardstock and use their die cutting machine!?! They have just about everything you can imagine.

You can decorate for the season by using your kiddos school projects, like Holly's Haven. What a great way to display their work! This gal also has some vintage music framed and she has a link for you to get it for free. Lots of vintage graphics to choose from! Love that!!

Heather shows us her decorated Thanksgiving table setting using her late Grandmother's china and napkins folded into lotus flowers. Love the hollowed out pumpkin vase for a centerpiece! This gal has a lot of fun stuff on her blog. I'm off to do some grocery shopping for the big day...
