However you spend Thanksgiving, it's always one of the most heartwarming times of the year. Friends and family gather around dining room tables laid with roasted turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Football (or a Thanksgiving movie!) plays on the TV, and gorgeous Thanksgiving decorations brighten houses all around the neighborhood. Before you begin cooking your big feast, you'll want to make sure your decorating is on point. That means crafting your Thanksgiving centerpiece, finalizing Thanksgiving table settings, and hanging a Thanksgiving wreath on your door. That last one is essential—after all, it's the perfect way to welcome holiday guests into your home!

That's why we've gathered up a cornucopia of DIY Thanksgiving wreaths that you can easily make yourself. Why spend megabucks on something from the store when you can create your own autumnal arrangement from supplies you probably have in the craft closet? No matter the style of your home, be it traditional, farmhouse, funky, contemporary, coastal, or anything in-between, chances are you'll find something to match your décor here. We have wreaths made of fall leaves, corn husks, burlap, tulle, and even bundt pans! They run the gamut from silly to stunning, but one thing is certain: From now on, hanging one of these wreaths on your door will become a cherished Thanksgiving tradition.

Felt Leaves Wreath

Dana Gallagher

Bring fall foliage right to your door with a pretty felt leaf wreath. You'll need twelve 8-by-12-inch sheets of felt in assorted autumnal colors and a 12 inch wire wreath frame for this one.

To begin, wrap thin strips of felt around the wreath frame and hot-glue in place until the entire frame is covered. Fold a sheet of felt accordion-style about 6 times, ironing the creases, and repeat with each sheet of felt.

Using scallop shears, cut 2-inch-long leaves from the folded/creased felt. (You’ll just need to cut a half-leaf shape, then unfold it like you would when cutting out a heart.) Repeat this step with all of the pieces, so you end up with 8 to 10 leaves of each color.

For the last step, add the leaves to the wreath, gluing them in place as you go and layering them as shown. Begin with a section of the lightest felt color and end with the darkest one!

Three-Ring Raffia Wreath

Now here's a wreath that looks like a party! It may take a few steps, but this beauty is well worth the effort.

Begin by cutting large pieces of cardboard into three rectangles, 3 by 6 inches, 3 by 7 inches, and 3 by 71⁄2 inches. Wrap the teal raffia lengthwise around the 6-inch rectangle as many times as possible, then snip at the bottom and top, so you get 6-inch-long pieces. Repeat with the other two colors and rectangles.

For the wreath base, use a 12-inch wreath hoop to trace a circle on a piece of cardboard and cut it out. Next, cut out an opening that’s 8 inches wide.

Grab a strand of teal raffia and hook it onto the 8-inch hoop by forming a loop and drawing the ends through, as you do with a luggage tag. Continue with more strands of raffia until the hoop is full. Repeat with the emerald raffia using a 10-inch hoop and the turquoise raffia on a 12-inch hoop.

Finally, assemble the wreath by hot-gluing the turquoise wreath to the cardboard base, and the emerald and teal wreaths on top.

For a final floral touch, cut off the stems of faux flowers using a wire cutter, and glue the flowers in clusters over the birch bark slices.
