- Newspaper Leaves: Newspapers are usually pretty inexpensive, and thanks to the advent of online newspapers, they're readily available in most parts of the country. Just cut out the shapes of your favorite leaves. Also, if you want to get creative with your 'fallen leaves' decoration this year, consider adding some paint or acrylic to the mix.
- Pumpkins: No Halloween will be complete without pumpkins, and you can certainly use them in your Thanksgiving decorating scheme. If you'd like to make a simple centerpiece for your table, why not try carving the top of a pumpkin and putting it in the middle of your table?
- Fall Lanterns: Anyone who's ever walked around outside at night in the fall knows that there's something magical about seeing lanterns hung from trees and houses, so why not bring the same feeling inside? You don't have to sacrifice your Halloween spirit just because you're doing Thanksgiving too.
