Inspiring DIY Thanksgiving Centerpieces
Pumpkin and Candle Alternates
One simple and elegant idea for a DIY fall centerpiece is to use small pumpkins and white candles. This combination creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for the autumn season. To create this centerpiece, you will need a few small pumpkins, some white candles, and a sharp knife.
An alternative to the DIY above is to place the candles inside the pumpkin! It’s a creative twist that looks really adorable!
First, cut off the top of each pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Then, place a white candle in the center of each pumpkin, making sure it is level. You can use any type of white candle, such as votive or pillar candles, depending on the size of your pumpkins.
Once your candles are in place, you can add some extra touches to your centerpiece. You can scatter some fall leaves or pinecones around the pumpkins, or place the pumpkins on a bed of autumnal foliage. You can also add some twinkle lights or fairy lights to create a cozy and romantic ambiance.
This DIY centerpiece is not only easy to make, but it is also very versatile. You can use different sizes and colors of pumpkins, or mix and match with other fall decorations to create a unique and personalized look. Plus, it is a budget-friendly option that will impress your guests without breaking the bank.
