DIY ~ Pumpkin Centerpiece

Our DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece is one of the simplest arrangements you can put together in a few minutes and will bring in the splendor of autumnal flair to your indoor décor whether you’re using it as a centerpiece to grace your dining room table for your delicious Thanksgiving Day dinner or using it as an accessory to decorate your dessert table or add colour to any living space in your home; it will add vibrant colours and a uniqueness all its own.

Our centerpiece was used with a multitude of autumnal picks we’ve had on hand for years (we like re-purposing items around the home when we can) and essentially cost us nothing to make.  You can opt in for a fresh arrangement buy visiting your local flower shop and picking up a nice bunch of flowers or you can take a walk in the woods and let natures beauty be your guide in creating your very own unique centerpiece.
