Top your Thanksgiving table with decor items you can make at home.

Turkey day is right around the corner, so why not impress your family and friends with a home that’s decorated to the nines? We’re all for inflatable turkeys and harvest wreaths, but if you go all out on store-bought decorations, you might not have enough left over for the real centerpiece: the meal. You’ll also give your home a personal touch if you put effort into making your own decorations. These easy, do-it-yourself decor ideas will spice up your space for the holiday without putting a dent in your wallet.

A Vegetable Centerpiece

For an easy centerpiece to top your table, cover a cake stand in corn husks and top with decorative corn, gourds, and fall leaves.

A Corn Husk Wreath

This gorgeous wall hanging requires a wreath frame, hot glue gun, and metallic gold pain. You’ll wrap the frame in corn husks and paint the tips gold for a beautiful display.

Step 1: Wrap corn husks around an 18-inch diameter straw wreath, using a hot-glue gun to adhere the edges. You’ll need about 35 husks to completely cover the wreath form.

Step 2: Using a foam brush, paint the tips of 48 additional corn husks with gold acrylic paint; let dry (about 15 minutes).

Step 3: Starting with the outer edge of the wreath, use hot-glue to adhere three concentric rings of 16 corn husks each. (Attach the second ring to the middle of the wreath and the third to its inner edge.) For the second and third rings, position the tip of each corn husk between two corn husks from the previous ring.
