really easy thanksgiving decorating

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’m here to tell you if decorating isn’t simple in every way, shape, and form I’m usually out. It’s just the way it is, I don’t have energy in my life for fuss.

So this year I came up with what has to be the simplest Thanksgiving centerpiece known to man. A jar full of pumpkins. No lie.

I bought the jar at D.I. for $1, bought a bag full of leftover Halloween pumpkins from the produce section of my grocery store for $1, and voila. Magic. All for the low, low price of $2.

What are your easiest {and recession friendly} Thanksgiving decorations?

Super cute use!
