Thanksgiving Crafts with Mod Podge

I’ve never really decorated for Thanksgiving before – somehow it gets lost every year between Halloween and Christmas. Not this year, my friends. It’s time to reclaim Thanksgiving and give it the attention it deserves!

I’ve pulled together a fabulous collection of twenty Mod Podge Thanksgiving crafts for you to enjoy. These are all inspirational, for home decor for the season or for a family celebration.

You’ll find yourself wanting to make all of these crafts! From turkeys to table decor, I can see that I’m going to need a huge container of Sparkle Mod Podge to dress the projects up appropriately.
