Enjoy a beautiful home this fall with these DIY Thanksgiving decor ideas! All are under $10 to help you stay on budget this Thanksgiving season.
Decorating your home doesn’t have to cost a lot, but it helps put the whole family in the mood for an upcoming holiday. I keep seasonal decorating minimal in my house–just a small amount in the entryway. It keeps me from spending too much or having to store too many decorations the rest of the year, plus it makes me smile!

How do you decorate for Thanksgiving on a budget?
There are a few rules to decorating for any holiday if you’re on a budget.
- Choose decorations that are multi-purpose. For example, many of these DIY Thanksgiving decor projects are simply Fall themed. You can leave them up for months!
- Less is more. Set up small vignettes a few places in your home to enjoy seasonal decorations. This helps with storage the rest of the year, too!
- Make your own decorations! This list of 25 frugal Thanksgiving decorations has projects that are simple enough for beginner crafters.
Where can I buy supplies to make frugal Thanksgiving decorations?
The good news is that all of these fantastic and frugal Thanksgiving decorations cost less than $10 to make.
I find a lot of what I need for inexpensive decorating from my local Dollar Tree. If I need something more specifically from an arts & crafts store, there is a Michael’s and an ACMoore nearby.
You can also shop online. I love the low prices of craft supplies at Consumer Crafts. And don’t forget about Amazon.

Not at all! I pulled together this big list of DIY Thanksgiving Decor with both budget and simplicity in mind. They’re easy to do! You may even find that some of these small projects can be done by your older kids and teens.
In addition, there are so many free printables out there that are fall-themed. You can print one out yourself, frame it, then use it in a vignette or hang it up. Or, choose a very special one and have a canvas printed for a piece of wall art that you’ll take out year after year!
What if I don’t have the time or interest to make my own Thanksgiving decorations?
