If you love the cozy, welcoming vibe of fall but don’t want to spend a fortune decorating, you’re in the right place. These cheap Thanksgiving decorations are proof that you can have a beautiful home filled with warmth and charm without breaking your budget. Whether you’re dressing up the dining room for a big family dinner, sprucing up the front porch for Thanksgiving, or creating a DIY Thanksgiving table centerpiece, these ideas use natural elements and simple materials to bring that seasonal magic home.
From homemade fall wreaths to cozy dinner table accents, these projects are creative, easy, and full of personality — just the way fall decorating should be!
One of the easiest and most beautiful DIY Thanksgiving decorations is a leaf garland. It doesn’t get much simpler than this! You know when you’re walking outside admiring how beautiful the colorful fall leaves are on the ground? Well, go ahead and collect some to bring indoors and create your own fall leaf decor. This idea comes to us by Laura and Niecki and it’s a great way to provide an activity for kids too!
Another great idea for cheap Thanksgiving decorations is a cinnamon stick candle holder. Pumpkin spice is nice, but we love going back to basics and appreciating cinnamon all on its own. Especially since it can make for some beautiful fall table decorations! These DIY candle holders by Jeans and a Teacup bring cozy warmth and that perfect Thanksgiving scent to your dinner table or dining room sideboard.
We also love a good upcycle, and a corn husk fall wreath is a great example of this. Save that kitchen waste and use it to create your own rustic fall wreath. Hang it on your front door or use it as part of a centerpiece on the dining table for Thanksgiving dinner. Reinvented Delaware shares this creative idea using corn husks — who would’ve thought to save them for decor?
