Looking for ideas for cute Thanksgiving decorations? Or maybe you’re going to your boyfriend’s house and are trying to think of a hostess gift? Just looking for something cute for your roommates? Don’t worry girl, we got you. We searched all the web for the cutest, most chic, and easiest DIYs for this Thanksgiving season!

 

1.The Leaf Bowl

This is probably the easiest craft to do. All you need are some leaves (which can be found anywhere), a balloon, Modge Podge, and a sponge brush. This is a really simple gift that parents would eat up. It is perfect to hold candy and small chocolates! You can make it one night in the time it takes to watch that extra episode of Gossip Girl that you usually squeeze in before bed. And plus, it is always great to show appreciation to the adults in your life and all that they have done to get you where you are today.

 

2. “Give Thanks” Tags

This is a more difficult craft but it is perfect for your boyfriend’s parents. These are perfect to hang on a front door or somewhere in your house. They are simple yet, elegant and will definitely fit in with any home décor.

3. Turkey Wreath

This is an adorable dorm decoration that you and your roommate can work together on. You can get all of the supplies on a quick run to Michael’s or a local craft store. Everyone will be jealous of your adorable seasonal décor.

4. Candy Cornucopias

A personal cornucopia is the sweetest gift for your friends and suite mates.  The instructions are simple: all you need are sugar ice cream cones and M&Ms or any other candies. These are a sweet gift to show how thankful you are to have great friends.

 

5. Bejeweled Pumpkins

These can be so chic and are a great decoration. To achieve this look of the white pumpkin look you can buy a white pumpkin or you can paint a quick coat of white paint on your pumpkin. The only other materials needed for this are jewels and a hot glue gun!
