Some Thanksgiving crafts make great centerpieces, place card holders, and table runners, while others are less purposeful and more about the activity than the final product. No matter what kind of DIY you’re looking for, our collection of easy crafts works for kids and adults alike. Our guides include supply lists and pictures, so you know exactly what the final product is supposed to look like. Use them as vehicles for your Thanksgiving quotes and Thanksgiving wishes, or simply add crafting to your household’s list of Thanksgiving activities or games. No matter what, they’ll serve as fun-to-make mementos of this year’s celebration, small or large.
