The Thanksgiving Tree



If you are looking for a unique Thanksgiving decoration idea, try a Thanksgiving Tree! Last year, my friend introduced me to a decorated Thanksgiving Tree. A few weeks before Thanksgiving, she takes out her artificial tree (typically used for only Christmas) and decorates it with a Fall "theme". (that's her tree in the photo above) It's really simple to do - a nice, thick ribbon or sash, a bunch of picks (bought from Michael's or some other arts and crafts store), and some lights (her's comes pre-lit, even better!). I'd also recommend wrapping the base with a Fall-colored tablecloth to hide the base. Once Thanksgiving is over, simply pull the Fall items off and decorate for Christmas!
What a great way to get multiple uses out of your artificial tree!
