You've waved goodbye to Halloween and now it's time to adopt an attitude of gratitude with Thanksgiving in only a few weeks. Have some fun getting your home ready for the holiday by creating a Thanksgiving banner to hang on a mantle or across a window. Use materials like feathers, leaves and lace to DIY these 5 easy fall banners this Thanksgiving season.
Feather garland
Go for a major ooh-ahh factor with this gold-tipped feather garland from Simple Stylings — which looks like a very spendy retail find.
Burlap banner
Burlap and lace create a textured, layered effect in this whimsical and rustic banner from The Crafting Chicks.
Paper banner
Scrapbook paper is the backdrop for this colorful banner from Centsational Girl, great as a project to make with kids. Encourage them to help gather the leaves, too!
Glittery leaf garland
Glue, glitter, artificial leaves and ribbon are the foundation of this super easy — and super sparkly — DIY project from 6th Street Design School.
Framed banner
A pretty frame outlines this holiday banner from A Pumpkin and a Princess, giving it a finished, polish look.
