How to decorate for Thanksgiving on budget

Although we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Europe, I always liked this tradition in North America. I know many people are not going to have a big Thanksgiving dinner in 2020, but you can still celebrate Thanksgiving.

I collected 20 great ideas and tips on how to decorate your home for Thanksgiving on a budget.

Let’s check out these fantastic homes and get some ideas.

1. Simple and quick Thanksgiving decor by Brie

If you want to go for a very quick and straightforward Thanksgiving decor, then follow the example of @darlingdoodlesdesign. She says that decorating for Thanksgiving is pretty easy. Brie usually just pull her fall decor back out and replace a few items with turkey-themed pieces. 🦃 It’s such a simple and quick way to decorate your home.
