Save this for your day-after-Thanksgiving plans: football, Christmas movies, and getting cozy on the couch with a plate of these cranberry turkey sliders. 🦃🎄🏈

SAVE this easy idea for your fall table! 💙🎃✨ Who says fall decor has to be orange?!
I took 24 inexpensive white pumpkins and turned them into the prettiest ombré centerpiece using @plaidcrafts Apple Barrel paint from @walmart!
1️⃣ I started by painting the first few pumpkins with Apple Barrel Admiral Blue.
2️⃣ After each batch, I added a little Antique White directly into the same paint mixture to create a slightly lighter shade. I kept repeating the process every few pumpkins until I had a full gradient from deep blue to the prettiest pale blue!
3️⃣ Once everything was dry, I painted all of the stems metallic gold for that little extra sparkle ✨
Then I arranged all 24 pumpkins from darkest to lightest down the center of the table and added candlesticks to finish it off!
I LOVE how something as simple as paint completely transformed these basic white pumpkins into a custom centerpiece. And the best part is you could recreate this in ANY color palette to match your own home and fall decor!
Comment PUMPKIN and I’ll DM you links to the Plaid supplies I used to make it! 🎨

SAVE this idea for your Thanksgiving table! 🍂🦃✨ And here’s your reminder to grab those giant foam craft pumpkins when they go on clearance after Halloween! 🎃
I cut the top off the pumpkin first, then used three different shades of metallic gold paint to create a subtle ombré effect and arranged faux fall florals right into the foam. The result looks so much more expensive than it actually is! 😍
This is also the perfect way to give those old, faded craft pumpkins a second life instead of buying new Thanksgiving decor!
💬 Comment PUMPKIN and I’ll send you the supplies to recreate this look!

GIANT Christmas lights are BACK! 🎄😍 And this year, Home Depot has two new colors of these jumbo bulbs…orange and light blue! They are SO cute!
This is still one of my absolute FAVORITE Christmas DIYs we’ve ever made! If you want a huge holiday statement, this is such a fun project and way easier than it looks.
Here’s how we made it:
🎄 The Plug: Spray paint a small trash can green to create the plug. Cover the opening with cardboard and glue on two gold-painted pieces of Styrofoam for the prongs.
🎄 The Cord: Twist two green pool noodles together and secure with zip ties to make the cord.
🎄 The Lights: Place one pool noodle piece between each jumbo bulb and use zip ties to attach everything together. Add extra noodles at the end so the strand hangs down like it’s “unplugged.”
🎄 Putting It Together: Drill two small holes in the bottom of the trash can and zip tie the noodle cord to the plug.
🎄 Hanging: We attached the bulb handles to eye hooks using zip ties. You can also display these in your yard or use appropriate outdoor-rated clips to hang them along your roofline!
❤️ IMPORTANT NOTE: I do NOT recommend nailing into your roof! Our original installation used small wooden blocks attached to an overhang between our house and garage, not directly over our living space, and we sealed the attachment points. There are plenty of ways to recreate this look without putting holes in your roof, and I’d recommend choosing a non-penetrating installation method!
These look SO cute during the day and even better all lit up at night! ✨

SAVE this DIY if you love OVER THE TOP…but simple 😜 🎄✨
You can actually DRIVE A CAR through these bad boys! 😂 And they’re still one of the easiest, highest-impact Christmas DIYs we’ve ever made!
Each arch uses three 10-foot pieces of 3/4-inch PVC pipe, two 3/4-inch PVC lock couplings, and about 300 Christmas lights (one 300-count strand or two 150-count strands).
This is definitely a two-person job! One person keeps the lights organized while the other wraps them tightly around the PVC, securing everything with zip ties along the way.
Once you’re done wrapping, hammer about 1 foot of a 3-foot piece of 1/2-inch rebar into the ground on each side. Slide the ends of your PVC over the rebar to create your arch!
These look absolutely MAGICAL lining a driveway or walkway and instantly turn your yard into a winter wonderland! ✨
🎄 Comment SUPPLIES and I’ll send you the links!
SUPPLIES (per arch):
* 3 pieces of 3/4-inch × 10-foot PVC pipe
* 2 PVC lock couplings (3/4-inch)
* 300 Christmas lights
* Zip ties
* 2 pieces of 1/2-inch rebar, cut to 3 feet each
Let me know if you try this one!

Save this easy DIY Christmas craft for later!
I used lace fabric and Mod Podge Stiffy from @plaidcrafts to create these sweet little Christmas trees! I made two smaller trees and one larger one, then tucked battery-powered warm lights inside for the prettiest little glow through the lace.
I styled them with a few inexpensive Christmas village houses for a cozy, vintage-inspired Christmas scene!
This is such a simple craft to customize, too! You could use different fabrics, colors, or patterns to make them your own. I just loved the idea of letting the Christmas lights shine through the lace!
You can find Mod Podge Stiffy and supplies for this project at Walmart! Comment SUPPLIES and i’ll send you the links.

This Halloween was one for the memory books! I really am sad to see the candy arch come down, but excited to get ready for Christmas!
Also, I found out that the theme for Vacation Bible School at our church is candy/food decor related so I will be able to donate everything that’s still in good condition (and maybe even make some more 👀)
