Let me show you how I turned my Halloween Dough Bowl into a Thanksgiving Themed Dough Bowl!  It hardly took any thyme at all!

Thanksgiving Themed Dough Bowl

In full disclosure, this project was from a few years ago.  Even though I feel physically better, my creativity and energy levels are still not where they should be.  I am hoping to get started on creating new Holiday content soon! 

Here is how I put changed it from Halloween to Thanksgiving!

Halloween Themed Dough Bowl

to Thanksgiving!

Let’s Get Started

The first step was to remove all of the Halloween decorations and wipe out the bowl.  Please ignore the Halloween tablecloth.  The photographer might have forgotten to take some in process shots!  Sometimes a girl has to use what she has so she doesn’t have to tear everything apart to retake photos!

Even though I have several dough bowls in my collection, I added this oval one to my collection.  It is a little longer and not as deep as a few of my other ones.  Like the majority of my dough bowls, this one is a reproduction.

If you are looking for a dough bowl, I recommend getting one that is at least 20 to 22 inches long if it is rectangle or oval.  If it is round, I think is needs to be at least 10 inches across.  The majority of my dough bowls are reproductions but there are still some antique ones available.  A variety of reproduction ones are available on Amazon.  A word of caution: be sure to check the dimensions of the bowls before ordering.  A  friend of mine ordered one in a hurry and it turned out to be smaller than her hand!

The oak framed mirror behind the dough bowl has quite a cute story.  You can read all about here if you like!  The Story Behind The Mirror

To add a little extra height to the display, I added the rustic wooden riser to the center of the dough bowl.  I also used it in the Halloween Bowl.  It is the perfect size to use in this dough bowl.  The white color adds interest to the finished display

I added the pumpkin candle rings on each side of the wooden riser like I had before.  If you don’t have candle rings, a few faux pumpkins or gourds would work too!  Again, please ignore the Halloween table cloth.  I really did change the table covering!!!

Next, I added an inspirational sign and more pumpkins to the display.

A Few More Details

Here is a picture of the embroidered tablecloth.  Don’t you love the stack of boxes and fall decor that is reflected in the mirror?

This industrial looking piece is actually an old wallpaper roller.  I found it in a resale shop a few years ago.  I love the size of it.  It adds a bit of texture and interest to the display.  

I sometimes use it as a pedestal in a vignette.

Easy Decorative Wire Accents

For this display, I just added it to the background to add some interest!
