Create an exciting and
welcoming home for your Thanksgiving festivities.
Five "Welcome to Our Home" Holiday Decorating Tips
1. 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, raffia, and ribbons.
2. 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.
3.
Wrap your front door with gift wrap appropriate to
Thanksgiving.
4.
Make a "welcome to our home" banner. Add your ribbons,
raffia, and fall leaves.
5. Group vines, pumpkins,
and mums for display impact near the front entrance.
Adjust the vines to add height and movement.
Fall Leaves make great interior and exterior
decorations. Be sure to hose off any bugs!
Five Holiday Decorating Tips for Your Home's Interior
1. Display vegetables and
mini pumpkins on a tray. Fill in any gaps with fall
leaves, moss, raffia, or wheat. If orange clashes with
your home's interior, use green apples and spray paint
the mini-pumpkins your colors.
2.
Tie ribbons and raffia around your candle bases and
around your floral arrangements.
3. Set fall-color leaves
under your decorations. Safety Tip: Keep leaves
separated from melting candle wax.
4. Extend your flower
arrangements with fall tree branches. Just one flower
package makes a huge impact when you divide and spread
it around.
5. Use copper, bronze, and
gold spray paint to dress up plain gourds. Fill a glass
or crystal bowl with the gourds, oranges, and nuts.
Did I already mention
gorgeous red, golden 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!
