Thanksgiving is right around the corner (^__^) I bought some Thanksgiving decors a while back because we will be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for our family! Here I am using some of the decors in my room. I have also made some DIY room decors.

Mason Jar Stationery Holder
You gotta love mason jars! I love the glass material and you can never have enough space for all the pens and pencils! My mason jars are recycled from Spaghetti sauce jars ^^ which is why I LOVE to make Spaghetti for my boyfriend (though not necessarily eat it since I end up making lo mein with Spaghetti noodles).
Materials
- Thanksgiving themed decorative ribbons
- Mason Jar
- Crafting paper or brown paper
- Basic crafting tools
- Scissors
- Crafting scissors
- Tape or glue
- Pillow stuffing (optional)
- Brown polka dot ribbons (optional)
Steps
- Lay out the designs of your desired Mason jar look
- Use tape or glue to arrange and set your design in place
- Use pillow stuffing if desired
- Attach ribbons on top of the jar if desired
Thanksgiving “THANKFUL” Garland Banner
You can’t go wrong with a garland banner. They are easy to make and take up a lot of space (in the good way!). They can add an instant pop to your room, effortlessly (minus the DIY time *cough*).
I was originally going to put it right in front of my book shelves, only to realize that it will block my access to the shelves. So I ended up putting them on the wall 😀
Materials
- Crafting paper
- Drawstring
- Black markers (or a printer)
- Scissors
- Crafting scissors
- Glue
Steps
- Estimate the size for your banner pieces
- Choose desired crafting paper
- I picked green, yellow, orange, and red to symbolize the change in color.
- Cut the paper
- I used my paper trimmer
- Arrange the order
- Fold the paper in half
- Write the word “Thankful” using a black marker or use a printer to print out the words
- I used the printer because I couldn’t find my black marker 🙁
- If you are using the printer method, print the words out and cut them into the desired size
- Glue the words onto the crafting paper
- Trim the bottom of the crafting paper using crafting scissors
- Open up the folded paper and put the string in
- Place glue on the paper and fold the paper again
- Once it is dry, you can put it up.
Lastly, you can always add the lights!
“FALL” Word Decor – Toilet Paper Roll DIY
I have collected TONS of toilet paper rolls! You know, it is one of those “what if I run out of toilet paper rolls for DIY?”. So I was so glad I was able to use toilet paper rolls for this DIY project.
Materials
- Toilet paper – 4
- Crafting paper – red
- Thanksgiving ribbon
- Black marker (or a printer)
- Blank white paper
- Scissors
- Crafting scissors
- Glue
- Stapler (optional)
Steps
- Cut out the appropriate size of crafting paper
- Cutting shorter than the toilet paper
- Don’t cover the whole paper to allow the toilet paper color to be shown
- Cut the long edge of the paper with the crafting scissors
- Fold the crafting paper and cut them into half to create four pieces of the final design
- Tape it on the toilet paper rolls. Repeat for the rest three toilet paper rolls.
- Cut out appropriate size of the Thanksgiving ribbon
- Tape it on the toilet paper rolls. Repeat for the rest three toilet paper rolls.
- If your ribbon doesn’t stay, you can use a Stapler to staple down the ribbon
- Write “FALL” on a blank white paper using a black marker or print them out
- It felt plain with the rectangle outline so I used the crafting scissors to give it more details.
- Glue the words onto the toilet paper
