So cute! I am glad I could give you an idea! We did the leaves on the sides of the jars candle holders! They look good!

I bought a few harvest / Thanksgiving decor items this year. Everything is paper or wood so it's reusable and can be burned or composted at the end of its life cycle. I haven't gotten to the DIY part of painting them yet.

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but harvest/fall decorations are our favorite craft activities. Haven’t done much this year… I should get on that…

We don't celebrate the whole European invasion and First Nations genocide Thanksgiving thing.
No pilgrim hats or Native American symbols for me. We celebrate the harvest season with a meal that is as homegrown as possible. I like a little decor for the cold weather holidays. It helps break up the monotony of winter.

We don't really celebrate the standard holidays year, but lean more towards the Pagan celebrations of the seasons, since that is what our home life works around. We have colored popping corn hung on the cupboard handles, pumpkins and squash on tables, door steps, by the chicken coop 
and we do have a jar of colored beans too that we grew this year

I like cutting plants and drying them for decor most of the time. Or just picking up moss, leaves, and sticks. I should have dried some of the tops of the corn stalks to take to Mom but forgot and it's too late for that now.

One year I found some pretty branches (crabapple tree, I think) and put them in a vase. I cut out leaf shapes and we wrote what we were thankful for and hung them on the branches. I should do that again this year, DS6 was too young to remember it.
