Hello everyone and Happy Autumn!!! 💓
I'm back today with some ideas for easy to make centrepieces for this season , using what you have at home. You can use them on your dining room table, coffe table or anywhere else you like.
So let's get started!!
I'm sure we all have baskets , trays , plates made of wood or other natural material , which we can use for our centrepieces. You can place in a variety of items related to autumn . I have used pumpkins in different materials and sizes , pomegranates (real ones), some faux leaves , faux flowers and a tiny tree , a butterfly and a miniature owl and of course a candle in autumnal colours . It is a good idea to use 'little creatures' of the forest and the farm to bring more life to your composition. You can use tortoises, birds, owls, butterflies , dragon flies etc.
In the picture below, I've used a wooden plate I bought from IKEA some years ago. I added fabric pumpkins that I've made myself, a mushroom made of felt, an aromatic candle, a pomegranate and a rosary I made using wooden beads. There is an abundance of tutorials in You Tube which show you how to make fabric pumpkins in really easy ways . That's how I learnt how to make mine and I can tell you it is not only easy but the result is very satisfactory , as well.
In the next picture, you can see a wooden wheel barrow, I've had mine for many years and I use it for my decorations all year round.
I have used the same items as above, but in different combinations .Some potpourri on the tablecloth , tiny, white pumpkins I made with clay that dries in the air , red velvet pumpkins and pomegranates from a tree in my neighbourhood!! I lit my candle and voila!!!
Next idea,
Use a bird cage and again decorate it with tiny items like pumpkins , wooden mushrooms and potpourri. I think it's quite cute!! But what do you think??
Another idea -especially if the space available is limited - is to use a small tray with a candle in the middle and just two or three more items, like pumpkins, pomegranates , mushrooms etc. Light candles in pretty lanterns and you have a lovely , cosy and chic centrepiece !!!
Real flowers in a vase in the middle of your table are also an excellent choice. My favourite ones are sunflowers because of their fantastic and very autumnal colour. You can also buy a pot of cyclamens, as well. They are very pretty and as they grow during this season, very appropriate for your Fall decor.
I hope you liked my ideas. I really, really enjoyed creating them for you and taking the pictures.
I will leave you for now with some photos from the beach which I took some days ago. It was still warm, but there was a chill in the breeze which made it clear that the season has changed and made us seek 'refuge' inside a beach cafe to enjoy our cappucinnos and unlimited views to the wavy sea!
Good bye for now, have fun and good health and find time to make and do things that you love!!!!!
