Thanksgiving diamond art kits you can still finish by November 26

A cheerful scarecrow surrounded by pumpkins, and the best-selling true fall canvas we found, at about 1,000 bought last month (4.6 stars, 188 ratings). The 11.8 x 15.7 inch canvas is the standard 30 x 40 cm size, so ready-made 12x16 diamond painting frames fit. A scarecrow says autumn rather than Thanksgiving, so it can stay up from now through November.

Pumpkins and autumn florals on a standard 12x16 canvas, with 843 ratings at 4.7 stars: one of the longest track records in the fall category. The seller describes a hot-melt adhesive background under a protective film, the usual setup on decent kits. It's the one we'd hand to someone who hasn't done a kit before and wants it up for Thanksgiving dinner.

With 1,255 ratings at 4.7 stars, this has the deepest review history of any fall kit in our search, and it sold about 400 last month. igoodom promises 30% extra gems per color and says it resolves missing-drill complaints within 24 hours. The listing we checked doesn't give the canvas size or the drill shape on the main page, so check the size options before you order if Thanksgiving is your deadline.

A cottage in a forest of orange and red trees, rated 4.8 stars by 820 buyers, the best score among fall canvases with real volume. Round drills are the forgiving choice for a beginner, because they don't need lining up edge to edge the way square drills do. Our square vs round guide explains the difference.

The turkey design with the most ratings (214, at 4.7 stars) and steady sales of about 200 a month. A square 35 x 35 cm canvas suits a sideboard or a small wall near the table. Because it's specifically Thanksgiving, it gets a few weeks of display a year, so frame it once and it comes out every November.

Gnomes dressed for three holidays (Halloween through Christmas) on one long canvas, so it can hang from October through New Year's. It's selling well (about 500 last month, 4.7 stars from 282 ratings). Be honest with yourself about the size: even if the drills are round, that's over 100 hours at 350 drills an hour. Treat it as a project that's finished by Christmas, not Thanksgiving.

Pearls and shaped gems on a 12-inch square canvas, selling about 1,000 a month with 4.5 stars from 114 ratings. Pearl kits have fewer, bigger pieces, so a 12x12 like this is a realistic November start. If pearl art is new to you, our pearl art kits guide explains how they differ from standard drill kits.

The frame is part of the kit, so the finished piece goes straight onto a shelf or wall with no trip to the craft store. It's new (23 ratings) but rated 4.9 and selling about 600 a month. A compact square is the easiest Thanksgiving piece on this list to finish in time.

Eight Thanksgiving coasters with a holder and cork backs. With 826 ratings at 4.2 stars, it's the longest-running fall coaster set we found. The seller says children over 8 can make them too, which makes it a good kids' job while the adults cook. Seal them before they go under drinks; see how to seal diamond painting coasters.

Pumpkin designs keep these on the table from September to the end of November. The set was selling about 400 a month with a 5.0 rating, though from just 16 ratings. The 20% extra drills per color are welcome on coasters, where a single missing color shows. For more sets, see our diamond painting coasters guide.

Twelve fall cards with envelopes. Each takes an evening or less, so these are the pick for a November start. Use them as place cards or thank-you notes for the host. Square cards count as nonmachinable under USPS rules, so add postage if you mail them; our Christmas cards guide explains.

A stand-up turkey for the middle of the table. The board is printed on both sides and drilled on one, so it looks finished from every seat. It's rated 4.6 from 173 buyers. Special-shaped drills go faster than a full canvas, so this is a one-weekend project.
