Fall Centerpiece

I really wanted a fall centerpiece to dress up my table. I saw these beauties at Dollar Tree and knew they had to come home with me. Not sure what they were thinking with the pattern on those candle pedestals. Nothing a can of spray paint can't fix!



A coat of heirloom white, a little raffia, and a hole punch for the leaves and I had myself a budget fall centerpiece. Now, if I could just find some toddler repellent to make it stay that way!



Fall Centerpiece Supplies:
  • Pumpkins $1 each
  • Leaves $1 for back of 90
  • Pedestals $1 each
  • Raffia-on hand
  • Plate-on hand

If only I could find the perfect table runner. Hmmm.

You're right, our projects are very similar today. ;)

I love how you tied the leaves on with raffia. Darling!!

Great job! Love the center piece, who would ever know that you only paid $6.00 for it! Definitely elegant looking. I am inspired!

What a lovely, chic center piece. No one would ever know it was a FRUGAL $6.00 unless you told them!
