Printable Thanksgiving Craft
This past month has been a roller coaster of emotions for our family full of sorrow, joy, heartache, hope and everything in between. It’s also put Life into perspective, making me think: What is really important in my life? This simple question is what inspired me to come up with this darling Gratitude Garland.
This is a fantastic Thanksgiving project for the whole family, and VERY simple to create. All you need are a few supplies and you’re ready to get started!
What You’ll Need
- Gratitude Garland Printables (download below)
- Scissors
- Marker
- Colorful twine or string
- Fall colored washi tape or glue
How To Make A Gratitude Garland
- Print – First, print off and cut out as many of our gratitude flags as you want.
- Be Thankful – Start writing down all the things you, your family, classroom, friends, etc. are thankful for.
- Prep – Fold the flags in half.
- Connect – Place the string or twine down the middle, and glue or tape together.
- Display – Hang and enjoy!
It doesn’t get much simpler than that! With a few objects and a little bit of time, you’ve got a super cute and meaningful craft! This Thanksgiving garland is perfect for all ages. My kids didn’t want to stop coming up with ‘blessings’ to write down. This would also be a fun craft for classrooms, youth groups, dorm rooms, etc. – even cub scouts would love making one of these!

Love this…for the rest of November and on Thanksgiving day I will leave a pen and a stack of these for everyone that enters to fill one out and keep adding to the garland. Thank you so much for the idea!
What a great idea!! So cute and fun!!
I love this idea. I included it today in a roundup of clever ways to incorporate a bit of thanks into the Thanksgiving meal.
I LOVE this! I’m definitely going to be doing this with my family. Thank you!
Blogged about it too 🙂
Just got these printed! So excited to use them! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love your wreath! Do you have instructions on how to make that?
Thank you! I love it too- I don’t have instructions, but I used the tutorial found here to make it:
Absolutely adorable!
I love this gratitude garland. Thank you! I also love your wreath. Do you have a tutorial for that?
Thank you! I don’t have a tutorial, but I made mine from the one I found here:
OK. Good idea. Thanks
Hey – one more thing – any idea how to print more than one per page so I’m not wasting a ton of paper if I’m just printing at home?
I totally understand!! I just copied and pasted them onto a word document. I was able to fit 2 to a page. 🙂
These are super cute! Did you print them on cardstock or just plain paper? Thanks so much for the download!
Just regular paper! My printer is broken, so I sent them into the UPS store for them to print out for me, and their paper did seem to be of a higher quality, but it wasn’t card stock. 🙂
This is a fabulous idea, and it turned out so adorable! Love it!
I like this design but it won’t let me download it
Thank you for letting me know! I hopefully have fixed the issue (mommy brain strikes again) and that you are able to download them!
love these.. thanks for sharing, but it’s giving me an error when I try to open 🙁
I am so sorry! I was lame and uploaded the wrong files- it should be fixed now. Thanks so much for letting me know!
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing 🙂
