I like to decorate my home for the holidays, but I don’t like to spend a lot on it. I mean, after all, there are a lot of holidays. For instance, you could spend a small fortune on centerpieces alone if you are not careful. So, when I was thinking about cute and cheap DIY Thanksgiving centerpieces, I naturally thought of Dollar Tree.
Cute And Cheap DIY Thanksgiving Centerpieces
Dollar Tree has a lot of items that you can use to make very cute crafts. My husband, daughter and I recently checked out the Thanksgiving and fall items in stock and were pleased to find several items that would be great for a centerpiece. We picked up a basket, foam blocks, flowers and ribbon {which we ended up not using for this craft, but you definitely could} and all of it was less than $10. The items that we used for our centerpiece ended up totally $5 + tax at Dollar Tree. Not too shabby.
You Will Need…
1 basket in your choice of color {we choose a purple}
3 packs of clip on flowers {they contain 2 flowers each for a total of 6}
1 pack of foam blocks
Preparation…
1. Start by taking the foam blocks out of the plastic and stand them on their side in the basket. You may have to shove them in there to make them fit. It’s ok if you break some small pieces off to make them fit. You won’t see them. They are just a base for your flowers.
2. Attach the flowers to the base foam. These flowers are meant to clip to a wreath. That’s ok. Stab those babies through the base and you are good to go.
3. Your masterpiece is complete and it took like what, 5 minutes. 🙂
4. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Socialize With Dollar Tree
For the first year, I am not going to be hosting Thanksgiving, but this would be fun to make and bring with me 🙂
This would really be a great centerpiece. It would have a personal touch too since it’s DIY
This is a pretty fabulous centerpiece :):) loving the flowers!!!
OMG that centerpiece – just too wonderful! <3
The good thing about decorations is that they can be re-used each year. I usually buy mine right after the holiday when they’re on markdown.
Hi Dawn,
Love this idea and like Lisa said it can be used all year ’round.
I love simple centerpieces that are easy to make. I like decorations but I’m not very crafty.
This is so lovely! Very pretty piece I would for sure use not just at thanksgiving!
That came out really nice, I love the colors. I never would have thought about going to the Dollar Tree for craft supplies.
Those centerpieces are so nice! What’s great is that they’re affordable, too! I love colorful things in our home.
This is such a pretty center piece. It is perfect for Thanksgiving and so simple to make.
This is such a cute centerpiece. I always make my own centerpiece for holidays. I love how easy this one is!
So pretty! Gonna make this for Thanksgiving!
What a pretty centerpiece! The colors are wonderful!!
This is pretty cool. I am always fascinated with how crafty people are. You did a good job with this! No way I could do this. It would be kind of rough. LOL!
I love decorating for Thanksgiving. I am going to do this project. Thank You
Inexpensive and quick as a wink. I’m totally down with that!
This is so cute. I bet it’d be a great gift to bring to a hostess too!
What a cute idea! I love homemade decorations!
What a pretty Thanksgiving centerpiece! We just moved and were saying we need to do some fall decorating. Looks affordable too.
It is! It cost me a grand total of $5 + tax to make. I got all the supplies at Dollar Tree. 🙂
Such a beautiful centerpiece, it would look so beautiful in my dining room!
This is great, affordable but beautiful center pieces. Thanks for sharing this with me, I want to find a way to simply use things like this to spruce up our living area in home!
I love to decorate too. Those are really cute not to mention affordable. My kind of thing. 🙂
These are beautiful centerpeices! Can you come to my house and do them for me? Okay fine..I’ll stop being lazy and pin it :]
Hahaha! I will come to your house to make crafts if you will come to my house and do some DIY projects. 😉
These look really great for the upcoming holiday. I am always looking for ways to spice up my table decor!
Cute! Plus you can save them for next year!
Yep. Once you pay for it – if you take care of it – you are done. Than you can spend your money the next year on other crafts. 🙂
Very cute! I’d love to do something like this with fresh flowers! ^_^
This is a beautiful centre piece and love how reasonable the price is for the materials, thanks for sharing x
Beautiful centerpiece. I love the colors. Very fall!
How pretty! I like to decorate for the holidays as well, but like you I don’t like to spend a lot of money. Therefore, I’m always scouring through the clearance and sale items. In fact, I found a bunch of velvet pumpkins of different colors for just $1 (normally $8) at Michael’s. Some of them are going to be my centerpieces for Thanksgiving. 🙂
That’s really pretty. I love the colors.
