Once all the Halloween decorations come down, it’s time for the Christmas decorations to go up, right? Wrong! I’m pretty passionate about making sure my family places an appropriate emphasis on Thanksgiving. Why?

If none of those strike your fancy, then it’s time to strike out on your own and make something original! Use the same crafting materials, but create your own plans. Start by finding a picture of what you want to create. Then either sketch it large (if you’ve got the skill) or trace it. If you need help tracing, grab a projector like this that you can hook up to your phone or computer. As a bonus, you’ve now got an awesome way to watch movies outdoors next summer!

Everyone thinks of pilgrims when they think of Thanksgiving, right? Why not put some pilgrims in your yard with these DIY Thanksgiving yard decor ideas.

Before tracing, cut the plywood in a rough outline of your project. Next, paint the front with a primer. Then project the image onto your plywood so that it’s the desired size. Now you’re ready to trace, paint, and seal your very own yard decoration to help celebrate Thanksgiving!

This is a fabulous project to get the whole family involved in (once you’re done with the power tools). Let the kids choose a picture to paint or have them help on specific pieces. That way when the Thanksgiving yard decorations come out each year, each person has some memories attached to them.

Happy crafting!

There's nothing better than doing crafts and projects as a family. These DIY Thanksgiving yard decor ideas will get you in the holiday spirit and bring everyone closer together.
