Thanksgiving Decorating Tips
"Welcome to Our Home" Ideas
Holiday decorating isn't just for Christmas! Door wreaths
welcome all to your home and set the stage for celebrating. Make
a simple wreath to hang on your front door with Thanksgiving
colors--brown, russet, olive green. Use tree branches from your
garden; attach a few gourds, nuts, and ribbons.
Place a gorgeous mum by your front door. You can plant it later
and get flowers next Thanksgiving to use inside. It just takes
one bright spot near your front door to attract the eye of
arriving guests.
Wrap your front door with gift wrap appropriate to Thanksgiving.
Make a "welcome to our home" banner. Add your ribbons and fall
leaves.
Group vines, pumpkins, and mums for display impact near the
front entrance. Adjust the vines to add height and movement.

Interior Holiday Decorating Tips
Tie ribbons around your candle bases and around your floral
arrangements.
Set fall-color leaves under your decorations. Safety Tip: Keep
leaves separated from melting candle wax.
Extend your flower arrangements with fall tree branches. Just
one flower package makes a huge impact when you divide and
spread it around.
Use copper, bronze, and gold spray paint to dress up plain
gourds. Fill a glass or crystal bowl with the gourds, oranges,
and nuts.
Display vegetables and mini pumpkins on a tray. Fill in any gaps
with fall leaves, moss, straw, or wheat.
If orange clashes with your home's interior, use green apples
and spray paint the mini-pumpkins.
Did I already say leaves? Here's another way to add fall color:
Place the leaves in your green potted-plants.
One beautiful way to kick off your holiday season: Wrap tiny
gifts in gold foil; top off with brown and russet ribbons, and
place the gifts on the dinner plate. Your table will look
fabulous and your guests will love the thought.
Happy Thanksgiving!
