8 Friendsgiving Decoration Ideas
Friendsgiving is all about being grateful for the friends in your life. Here are a few Friendsgiving decoration ideas that to use at your celebration.
1. Mini-Pumpkin Candle Holders.
Buy a mini-pumpkin for each guest. Use a pumpkin carving kit, an electric drill with a spade bit, or a kitchen knife to make a hole at the top of the pumpkin the same size as the base of the candle. Scoop out the contents of the pumpkin. Take a decorative fall sprig and cut any parts you might want to use to decorate the candle. Insert the wire from the sprig into the pumpkin hole and bend. Place the candle into the hole. Adjust candle height as desired by cutting at the base of the candle. Finish with a small piece of ribbon at the base.
2. LETTER BOARD/CHALKBOARD WELCOMING YOUR FRIENDS TO THE CELEBRATION
Take a chalkboard and some colored chalk and welcome your friends to the celebration. Use the colored chalk to draw fall foliage and a pumpkin or two and use white chalk to write a heartfelt message. Decorate the border of the chalkboard with an inexpensive fall garland and place in an easel or plate holder or hang from the front door with some fall-colored ribbon.
3. BUTCHER PAPER TABLE RUNNER
This Friendsgiving decoration idea is super easy. You can get the butcher paper at any craft or party store, and you can decorate it any way you like. You can glue some fall-colored leaves on the paper or use rubber art-stamps to decorate it. If you’re going to have a set seating arrangement, you could write your guest names on the paper instead of making placeholders.
4. FRIENDSGIVING BANNER
The easiest thing to do is to find a printable banner online. Print it out and attach it to some decorative ribbon with many clothespins. Felt banners are easy and inexpensive to make, and they are also inexpensive to buy. If you’re going to make your own banner, you’ll need some brown, yellow, orange, green and dark red felt, a hot glue gun, as well as some ribbon or twine and a yard of burlap. Cut your letters in the different felt colors. You might also want to cut leaves or acorns for a little added decoration. Cut the burlap into the shape you want for your banner and glue the letters onto the burlap. Attach the burlap to your ribbon or twine with many clothespins. And you’re done.
5. FRAMED FALL LEAVES
The easiest Friendsgiving decoration idea on this list. Buy some inexpensive frames at your local dollar store as well as some decorative, fall-colored leaves. Write your guests’ names on the leaves with a white or gold sharpie and frame. Simple, but special.
6. WHEAT SPRIGS TIED WITH BURLAP
If you’re looking for a beautiful, but simple table decoration, try this idea. Take a few wheat sprigs and wrap them in two-inch wide burlap ribbon and tie it all up with a narrow piece of fall colored ribbon. Before tying that ribbon though, be sure to attach a tag to the ribbon with each guests’ name on it, and place the decoration on each place setting. It will look absolutely beautiful.
7. TURKEY ACCENTS
For a whimsical Friendsgiving decoration idea, why not purchase some colorful, turkeys and to add to both your home and tablescape. This is one of the best friendsgiving decoration ideas!
