Easy Thanksgiving Decorations for the Table

With the collision of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, I admit my Thanksgiving Table Decor is not always Martha Stewart quality. As my girls aged, however, they have involved themselves in the fall decorations and once I surrendered the dinner table, I let them go to work – you guys it looked amazing! They used some of our Thanksgiving decorations, fall fruits and went outside and pulled in greenery from the yard.  The last minute table decor with rustic greenery, fruit, china, and crystal blended so well together.

I am encouraging you to look over these Easy Thanksgiving Decorations for the Table. Decorate ahead (if you need) and have the former dining room table set for most of November or at the last minute, look at these easy DIY Thanksgiving ideas. Surrender the table to crafty kids or duplicate and mimic what you see in these Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas. Enjoy!
