Thanksgiving Crafts with Cricut: Table Setting Ideas, Custom Placemats & Decor
Thanksgiving is all about gathering, gratitude, and, let’s be honest, those extra special details that make your table shine. Printable and drawable Thanksgiving crafts have become hugely popular, especially kids’ activity placemats and personalized table décor. Here are a few ways to use Design Space‘s Draw feature and Print-then-Cut feature to create custom and festive Thanksgiving crafts and décor.
Custom Activity Placemats
Placemats aren’t just for protecting your table. With the Draw feature, you can use Cricut pens and markers to create fully custom, Thanksgiving-themed placemats in minutes.
Kids’ Activity Placemats
Add tic-tac-toe grids, color-in turkeys, mazes and puzzles, or “I’m thankful for…” prompts to keep little ones entertained.
Select from hundreds of festive designs like leaves, pumpkins, acorns, and fall motifs in Design Space. Not confident in your artistic abilities? No problem. Simply select the Draw feature, follow the instructions on when to insert the pen of your choice and watch your machine do all the artwork.
Table Details
A cohesive table setting ties the whole celebration together. You can design matching pieces so everything from the placemats to the smallest labels feel personal and intentional.
Choose matching palettes (mustards, deep greens, terracotta, and cranberry) or repeat a single motif across all décor for a seamless look.
Place Cards
Use vinyl and cardstock to create fall leaf cards with names so every guest feels welcomed and has a special place at the table. A matching charger plate brings everything together.
This project is quick to make, easy to customize, and instantly transforms your table into a cozy, inviting fall display.
“I’m Grateful For…” Wreath
This is more than just pretty decor. It’s an interactive piece that invites everyone to share what they truly cherish. This project is incredibly easy to customize and only requires a few supplies you may have lying around the house, like fall colored cardstock and glue.
Layered Décor Elements
Create layered pumpkins, foliage clusters, or mini table signs for added dimension.
This versatile foliage frame can be used a couple different ways. Use it as a personalized place card holder (perfect for Grandma!) wrapped around a linen napkin, or scale it up to create an elegant, layered “Give Thanks” greeting card for your host or guests.
No matter how much (or how little) time you have left before the big day, you can quickly whip up impactful decor. From the front door to the table, there are hundreds of ready-to-make Thanksgiving crafts in Design Space that offer complete customization options to tailor to your theme. As you gather with family and friends, take a moment to look around at all you have created, and then put the focus where it belongs: on giving thanks and enjoying your time together!
