As we gather with family and friends over this Thanksgiving and holiday season, your table will take center stage. If you do not yet have a centerpiece, then maybe this will give you some inspiration! This takes about 15 minutes to put together and most items can be found in the grocery store or from your yard.
Here's what you will need:
3 candlesticks
taper candles (or pillar candles)
5 pumpkins
preserved or fresh leaves or branches
Arrange the candlesticks (or a variety of pillar candles) randomly down the table with the tallest ones in the center. Then, set the fall leaves on the tabletop around the bases of the candlesticks. Next, randomly distribute the pumpkins down the center of the table as well, or you can group them towards the center. Next, you can add to the decorations with a few pinecones, acorns, Indian corn, miniature turkeys or even foil-wrapped chocolate turkeys.
Tip: when using fresh leaves make sure that they are dry so that any wood surfaces will not be damaged. You could use a cloth runner or tray underneath fresh items if needed.
