Today, we have fun cinnamon broom decor ideas for your Thanksgiving and Christmas table! The best part is that you can use all of the supplies you buy for the Thanksgiving version of this table for your Christmas table as well. With a few adjustments, this table transitions seamlessly from fall to holiday, allowing you to buy once and enjoy two looks that you will love over the holiday season.

Cinnamon Broom Decor Ideas Video
I thought I would start with a fun video that shows off all of the table decoration ideas, along with the projects I did for both tables.
Can’t watch the video or want more details on some of the projects? Follow along below!
Cinnamon Broom Decor Ideas
The main supply needed for all the ideas that I will be showing you today is a cinnamon broom. If you have never heard of a cinnamon boom, it’s basically a broom that is made of pine straw, which is infused with cinnamon oil. It has a great aroma and is a symbol of good fortune and warding off negative energy.
So, grab some cinnamon brooms in a variety of sizes and let me show you how you can use the same elements to create both a Thanksgiving and a Christmas tablescape!
Thanksgiving Table Decoration Ideas
We are going to start with Thanksgiving because I can’t believe it is already next week! I have some simple ideas for you to add some gorgeous decor to your Thanksgiving table. The best part is that you can use all of the supplies you buy for the Thanksgiving version of this table for your Christmas table as well. Buy once and use twice!
Supplies Needed For Thanksgiving Table Decorations
- Scented brooms in small, medium, and large sizes
- Pine cones in various sizes
- Small artificial white pumpkins
- Rustic wood slice charger
- Paper
- Twine
We will start with the star of the show – that centerpiece! Start with two large scented brooms. You will also want to pick up some scented pine cones as well as a bunch of white pumpkins for this look.
Lay the two brooms with the wide end out at the ends of your table. Then just start piling on pine cones and pumpkins.
The brooms and pine cones will take care of scenting your tablescape, so no additional candles or anything are needed with this one.
We used just white pumpkins for a more monochromatic look, but you can choose more colorful ones as well for your table decoration ideas.
Then you can move on to your place setting. A rustic wood slice charger sets the scene.
You can add a simple piece of paper with a name to the top of some pine cones and use those as place cards.
We also tied a mini broom onto ribbons for a rustic napkin ring addition to the table.
So, now we have used the large and mini brooms, but there are actually medium brooms as well. I tied pieces of paper to create a fun “thanks” banner with a few of those medium brooms. I strung those onto twine on one end of the table to continue the rustic look.
Don’t you just love the way this Thanksgiving table turned out? The bonus is that it is so easy to pull together.
Christmas Table Decoration Ideas
Now we can use all of these same elements for a Christmas look. Just with a few changes, this table goes from fall to holiday, so buy once and get two looks that you will love over the holiday season.
Supplies Needed For Christmas Table Decorations
- Scented brooms in small, medium, and large sizes
- Pine cones in various sizes
- Artificial poinsettias
- Iced berries and branches
- Rustic wood slice charger
- Paper
- Twine
Once again, you can start with that gorgeous centerpiece. We are using the same technique with the large brooms lying on the table and a pile of pine cones added to the center.
This time I stuck in a few poinsettias and some iced berries and branches.
The look is still rustic, but the addition of the red to these table decoration ideas makes it feel festive and ready for holiday dinner guests.
The brooms and pine cones are still scenting the entire table, so you can leave off any candles with this one.
I used the same pine cone place cards for this one, but I changed up some of the other elements with some cute craft projects.
How To Make A Santa Broom Ornament
So first, we have this adorable Santa broom ornament. I used the mini brooms to create these and added some ribbon to the napkins. These are great for sending home with your dinner guests as a party favor. You could also make a ton of these for your tree!
Start by masking off the bottom of the broom and spray painting it white. Then add on a mini Santa hat, googly eyes, and a pom pom nose with hot glue. That is it! So super simple and simply adorable!
Will you make some Santa brooms for your Christmas decor this year?
I love the whimsical addition to this holiday tablescape!
With the addition of our little Santa, the place setting on this Christmas table is complete.
I left the main components of the table the same from the fall version to this version. So the rustic charger and burlap remain. You could change these elements up if you would like.
How To Make A Christmas Tree Broom
But what about those medium brooms? I couldn’t leave those out! I created some fun Christmas tree brooms with those, and they are perfect for your Christmas table or even hanging on the tree. They are super easy to make as well!
Just spray paint the entire broom green, then use hot glue to add a star and some pom pom trim. That is it! You have a cute ornament, or you can string a bunch of these onto a piece of twine for a banner.
I used them on a banner at the end of the table once again.
Overall, I love the way my Christmas table turned out and how great the brooms made the entire thing smell. Table decoration ideas like these are simple yet make a big impact.
I think the idea of creating two looks with the same elements is a great way to stretch your budget this holiday season. So grab your cinnamon brooms to recreate this look in your own home.

So, do you love these table decoration ideas? Will you be using them in your own home this holiday season?
FAQs About Cinnamon Broom Decor Ideas
Here are a couple of questions that I see readers ask about these cinnamon broom decor ideas. If you have a question, please check to see if I’ve already answered it below. Don’t see your question? Leave it for me in the comments!
Where Can I Buy Cinnamon Brooms?
You can buy cinnamon brooms online, at your local craft store, or at Home Depot!
Do Cinnamon Brooms Shed?
Yes, cinnamon brooms can shed once the scent fades or the broom itself starts to degrade.
How Long Do Cinnamon Brooms Last?
The brooms can last for about 1-3 months, then the smell will start to fade away.
How Can I Keep The Cinnamon Broom Smell From Fading?
Unfortunately, the cinnamon smell will get weaker and weaker over time. However, to rejuvenate the cinnamon smell, you can add a few drops of cinnamon essential oil to the broom’s bristles.
Can I Use My Cricut Machine To Create The Banner And Placecards?
Absolutely! You can use any Cricut machine that you have on hand to make a custom banner or placecards for your table setting. If you need some ideas on how to make a banner with your Cricut, you can check out our Cricut Banner: Easy Paper Banner for Beginners blog post!
Can I Use Acrylic Paint Instead Of Spray Paint When Making These Projects?
I would not recommend it. This is because it will take you longer to paint, and you may not get complete coverage on your pine straw.
