Details

Dress the door for Thanksgiving. The Thankful Door Insert is a professionally designed, thoughtfully curated DIY kit: five pieces made for the Arched Door Base. Two pumpkin urns with bows and golden foliage, a tall “Thankful” panel in sweeping script, a round “Gather” pumpkin medallion for the door’s window, and a little lantern to light the scene. Paint them in the warm oranges, blues, and creams shown here, or make them entirely your own — then slide them into the base and watch the door turn thankful. Each piece is precision laser-cut with clean edges and a smooth surface made for paint. The kit arrives unassembled, so the making is part of the experience: paint, layer, and dress a doorway that changes with the seasons. The Arched Door Base is sold separately. Open. Create. Become.

How to Use

1. Lightly sand the piece edges.
2. Paint the pieces before assembly, using brushes and make-up wedges for detail and blending (choose your own palette, or follow the colours included with your kit).
3. Glue the layers together — wood glue for the main layers, super glue or hot glue for small details.
4. Let dry, then seal with a clear spray sealer to protect the finish.
5. Slide the pieces into the Arched Door Base: the Gather medallion in the round window, the Thankful panel, lantern, and pumpkin urns in the base slots.

Experience level: beginner-friendly. Ideal for a relaxing solo project or a seasonal display that changes with the year.

FAQs

Which paints should I use? We recommend DecoArt Americana acrylics. The exact colours used in the finished sample are included with your kit.

Is the Arched Door Base included? No — the base is sold separately. These five inserts are made to fit it: the Gather medallion sits in the round window and the other pieces slide into the base slots.

Is paint or glue included? No — paints, brushes, sandpaper, glue, and sealer are not included, so you have full creative control.

How hard is it to assemble? Beginner-friendly. Paint the pieces, glue the layers together, seal, and slide them into the base.

Can I paint it in different colours? Yes — the kit is yours to customize. Any acrylic paint palette works.
