Now that fall is in full swing, our minds have two modes: Halloween and Thanksgiving! We’ve already done so many Halloween crafts and creative projects because our kids adore the holiday more than anything, however, that we can’t help feeling like our house could use a little more DIY Thanksgiving charm to balance out the spooky. That’s why we’ve been keeping our eyes open for awesome Thanksgiving wreath tutorials! Something about making door wreaths has always just felt so satisfying to us and we like to search for ways to make new ones each season.

Are you the kind of crafter who adores creating sensory based projects? By that, of course, we mean we love working on projects that involve some kind of physical and visual texture, but it’s an added bonus when we get to make something that has a distinct and wonderful smell as well! We’re sure it’ll come as no surprise to you, then, that we adored this dried fall potpourri wreath outlined step by step on Sweet Something Designs.

3. Indian corn Thanksgiving wreath

In your house, does Thanksgiving have a lot more to do with harvest than it does with the commercial holiday that has become quite so popular? Sure, we love the concept of taking a family moment to give thanks for our blessings, but we also have a family history of cultivating farmland, so we like teaching our kids to have appreciation for the harvest itself. That’s why we thought this stunning dried Indian corn wreath featured in detail on Boys, Bovines, and Blessings was such a lovely idea!

Then maybe the inclusion of burlap will really take it there for you!
