10 Thanksgiving DIYs That Make Hosting Look Easy

To give pumpkins a Thanksgiving update, paint them with metallic hues and place them around the house.

Cut leaf shapes out of construction paper and fasten them to twigs with string. Place them in a vase at dinnertime and let everyone untie leaves and write down what they're thankful for to read out loud over dessert.

This DIY is a no-brainer — use branches, leaves, and twigs from outside to lay across the center of your table for a gorgeous centerpiece.

Use the craft paper of your choice to write out the menu for the event, and set each piece of paper at every place setting. The simple gesture is a thoughtful touch your guests will notice.
