Amazing Festive Decor Ideas

With the blink of an eye, Halloween is done and past, and it’s time for a new holiday. That’s right — it’s Turkey day’s time to shine! If you’re planning on hosting a Friendsgiving this year, make sure your get-together outshines the rest with fun, festive and colorful decorations. Whether that means enlisting a cornucopia piñata or stuffing a turkey with confetti (read on, you’ll see), these many decor ideas will surely help you

DIY Cornucopia Piñata: Put your leftover Halloween candy to use, and *no,* we don’t mean binging-out. Just chuck ’em inside this cornucopia piñata your guests can take a swing at. It’ll be an activity much appreciated, especially after that second helping of pumpkin pie

DIY Painted Foam Leaves: Transform foam leaves into an assorted rainbow with your choice of spray paint colors. Use hot glue to attach the leaves to each other, and there you have it — one festive and modern backdrop fit for a photo booth or drinks bar.

DIY Gradient Orb Taper Candle Holders: Your friends will never guess that these candle holders actually started out as round pieces of foam. Use spray paint to paint bursts of color all around the orbs for a similar gradient effect. But feel free to spray paint them a solid color, if you prefer a more refined look.

DIY Paper Leaf Thanksgiving Table Runners: Turn up the *feels* by having friends write notes sharing what they’re thankful for onto paper leaves. Over dinner, read what everyone wrote and try to guess who said what, for a fun way to share how grateful everyone is for everything and each other.

DIY Mini Pumpkin and Gourd Vases: For an alternative to the traditional flower arrangement, source a collection of mini pumpkins at your local grocery store or a pumpkin patch to turn into DIY planters. Simply scoop out the center of your pumpkins and gourds, then plop a succulent or air plant right in. The best part is your friends can take them home as party favors.
