Create a DIY Thanksgiving wreath for you and your guests to enjoy when they walk through the front door. You have the food and plans prepared, but what about your decor? This list has got you covered!
The Thanksgiving holiday is a fun-filled holiday full of food, friends, and fun. It is the only holiday where it is okay to show up with your stretchy pants on and ready to eat some delicious food!
There is a bit of planning that goes into this holiday. Running to the grocery store to get all of the ingredients, pulling out your best china, and planning your guests’ schedule.
You have everything ready to go, but you’re probably missing one thing – the decorations. This is a minor forget and an easy fix.
Wreaths for the Holiday Season
Fall is the time for crafting, decorating, and DIYing. The crafting industry sees a huge boom during the season because it kicks off all the major holidays. And Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorites.
With these DIY wreaths, you could throw together one to go on your front door for your guests to see, one for the kitchen for aesthetics, and one in the bathroom for a fall touch, and more.
Of course, you don’t have to make multiple – a simple front door wreath is perfectly fine!
If you don’t want to settle for just basic fall decor this year, spice it up for the holidays celebrated throughout (yes, all of them)!
To get started with your holiday decor, here’s a handful of super cute DIY Thanksgiving Wreaths to inspire you to dive deep into holiday decor this year!
Thanksgiving Wreath Ideas
1. Give Thanks Grapevine Wreath
Grapevine wreaths are widely popular amongst holiday wreaths because they are so easy to decorate and pretty inexpensive too! You can find them at any local craft store ready to go.
This simple Give Thanks Wreath by Make It-Love It is a prime example of a perfectly simple DIY holiday wreath using a grapevine form. It’s budget and time-friendly, and I call that a win-win!
Grapevine wreaths are a favorite of mine because you can do so much with them. Since the center is hollow, you can easily add any seasonal sign or banner, and voila! A fun Thanksgiving wreath for your home.
2. Thankful Wreath by Southern Charm Wreaths
Nothing says Thanksgiving like a beautiful bouquet of fall flowers. Silk fall flowers, to be exact. These decorative flowers give off a beautiful fresh look, all while being budget-friendly and lasting longer than fresh flowers.
This DIY Silk Flower Wreath from Southern Charm Wreaths has a wonderful combination of yellows, reds, and browns to bring out the Thanksgiving and autumn vibe.
What is great about this wreath is that most of the materials you can find in your own home if you are a savvy crafter like myself! If not, no worries, you can find all of these items at your local craft store.
The DIY Thanksgiving Wreath may look complex but with the video tutorial included, putting it together is fairly simple.
3. DIY Basket Wreath
A wreath doesn’t have to be made out of a store-bought wreath form. You can use a lot of different bases to create a festive door hanging for Thanksgiving. Just look at this beautiful DIY Basket Wreath from Twelve on Main.
It can be chic, fitting in with neutral-themed fall decor, or even give off farmhouse vibes if that’s what you’re going for this year.
4. Printable Wreath for Thanksgiving
If you want to try something super creative but very simple, you could make this DIY Printable Thanksgiving Wreath with this tutorial by Lia Griffith. I cannot believe how cute this wreath is, even though it’s made almost completely of paper.
With some colored paper, a printer, a foam wreath form, and hot glue, you can make an easy festive wreath for any area of your home. I’m definitely going to have to try this one out!
5. Mini Corn Husk Wreath
I’m not sure why, but when I see a colorful husk of corn, my mind goes straight to Thanksgiving. This Mini-Indian Corn Wreath DIY over on Stonegable Blog is so fun and unique.
It will definitely make an impression as a Thanksgiving door wreath and will add a natural, earthy feel to your holiday decor.
You’ll be able to find mini Indian corn with husks in some craft stores, but it’s also available in several places online. This wreath is a little more costly to put together than others, but the result is absolutely worth it!
6. Hello Fall Wreath
This autumn-inspired wreath tutorial from How To Make Wreaths is so full of patterns and bold colors that it will have your friends and family asking where you got it.
This wreath looks anything but simple – but don’t let that intimidate you! It is actually a fun and fairly easy DIY that you can make at home.
Keep in mind this wreath is a fall-themed wreath rather than Thanksgiving specifically. You could change it up with a different phrase, but either way, it will be the perfect addition to any Thanksgiving ambiance.
Hang it on your front door or above the fireplace!

FAQs about Thanksgiving Wreath Ideas
Many people ask this question, Fall and Thanksgiving have similar tones and styles, so how do we determine which decor is for Fall and which one is for Thanksgiving?
Fall is a season with an abundance of styles included in it. You can use multiple color palettes to create a fall wreath. Some decor ideas are leaves, pumpkins, and acorns.
For Thanksgiving, it is a bit more specific. Thanksgiving decor will have items such as turkeys, cornucopias, and colors such as brown, white, yellow, and tan.
If you are wanting an easy DIY wreath, you should start with a grapevine wreath form and add a few embellishments. There are many examples online of how you can make a simple and elegant wreath using one.
Adding decor items in neutral tones is a great way to create a simple wreath. The key is to have the colors compliment each other rather than stand out.
You can find an abundance of wreath embellishments in your local craft stores and even places like Walmart and Target’s Dollar Spot.
Hundreds of options are also available at online retailers like Amazon and Etsy.
