Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be one of those dull or stressful holidays where the family gets together only to eat.  There’s so much more to this particular holiday, and you can begin with the right home decorating ideas to stage the attitude of gratitude.

This article will give you some easy and inexpensive decorating ideas as well as insights to the largest dinnerware collectibles to show off a home you can be proud of this season.

The Gratitude Message Board sets the mode to be thankful.

This is a unique and clever idea that takes little time or money to put together.  Simply cover a piece of Styrofoam with linen and place in a frame.  Cut out leaf shapes from construction paper in different fall shades, and create an artistic heading, “We are Grateful For”.  The leaves can be thumbtacked on with pushpins under the heading.  Guests are encouraged to take a leaf and write on it whatever comes to mind for which they are grateful this year.  Once the leaves are attached again, it can be hung where guests can come over and view all the sentiments of gratitude time and time again.

Old-fashioned candleholders help to set the mode on early American times.

Imagine a wrought iron scrollwork candleholder centerpiece surrounded by your autumn décor! Candleholders are a great way to begin to create your Thanksgiving or Christmas centerpiece for your dining or coffee table.  You can get creative here by setting small fall pumpkins on the holder for your centerpiece, which later can be used as an attractive way to hold your candles.  Check out these products with prices as low as $9.99!  https://beckalar.com/product-tag/candle-holders/

A “Thankful Wreath” is always a welcoming site to any home.

You can decorate your own, or buy an evergreen wreath and simply add a ribbon stating “Give Thanks”.  Adding berries and pinecones will give this wreath a touch of autumn.

Feature “Thanks” on a hand made centerpiece turkey!

This is a great idea, especially if you have kids.  And, it can be completed long before Thanksgiving to generate an attitude of gratitude in your home.  Simply take a large pinecone, add the turkey’s head, neck, beak and wattle on the front with cut out construction paper and craft googly eyes.   The head and neck can be cut in oval and round shapes on tan construction paper.  Cut out “feathers” out of construction paper, about 6 – 10, different colors, or for however many guests you have.  Trim each paper feather with cutting the edges to look like feathers, and fold in half.  Insert into the pinecone so that they may be temporarily taken out at Thanksgiving.  Encourage your guests to write on the feather what they’re thankful for and tuck back in the turkey’s cone.  This makes for a memorable piece you’ll want to keep for years.

Vintage Pyrex always reminds people of home sweet home.

Decorative Cinderella bowls and vintage casserole dishes always bring back memories of Mom.  Everyone knows that Pyrex is the most versatile cookware on the planet – a real must for easy cleanup.  Just take what’s left over in the dish, add the top and place in the refrigerator.  Pyrex goes from mixing to oven to decorative display to refrigerator.  The worlds largest inventory section of vintage Pyrex can be found here:  https://beckalar.com/?s=vintage

A “Thankful Tree” sets the mood for gratitude – another clever way of getting guests involved in remembering to be thankful.

Create paper ornaments and invite your guests to write down there sentiment of gratitude.  Get a small artificial tree and anchor it in sand in a pitcher.  With signed and dated ornaments, you’ll want to keep this memento forever.  Get ideas for an attractive stoneware pitcher here:  https://beckalar.com/product/3-quart-pitcher-stoneware/
