Uh-oh, it's the day before Thanksgiving and I am SO BEHIND on my decorating! Okay, okay, hear me out: I've been pretty busy working and cooking the last few days. So busy, in fact, that I've pretty much forgotten all about how I'm going to actually make Thanksgiving dinner a cozy, intimate and very pretty affair.
Well, have no fear! In order to get some quick decorating tips, I headed straight to Pinterest (duh) for some simple DIY ideas to make my Thanksgiving table stand out and have my family's mouths drop open when they see what a good job I did. Alright, so I admit I'm a little decorating-crazy but the good thing is that these 6 super-easy decorations for your Thanksgiving table could NOT be any simpler if they tried. In fact, you can even get some of your family (especially the kids) to help out with these fun craft projects, while the turkey's busy cooking! I know that's my plan, at least.
