Fall Breakfast Table

I love this time of year. I love the colors. I love wearing warm and cozy sweaters and boots (haven’t been able to do this just yet). I love to fill my home with fall and all its elements.

I bought these place mats on clearance at Kohl’s a couple of years ago. The variety of shapes and colors is a very “me” thing…just take a peek at my chairs. 🙂

My mom and I made some pumpkin centerpieces for friends and ourselves a couple of years ago (another Ike crafting day). We bought all of our supplies at Garden Ridge on sale BB (before blogging). We cut a hole in the top of carvable pumpkins, filled them with fall colored flowers and berries, and finished them off with big, beautiful bows. They turned out spectacularly!

I spied a few similar pumpkin centerpieces at Michael’s the other day with an $80.00 price tag (they didn’t look as good as ours… 🙂 just saying). Wowza! Don’t be afraid to make your own. If it doesn’t look right the first time, take the pieces out and try again (the little block of floral foam in the middle of that pumpkin has too many holes to count).

Instructions for Making Pumpkin Centerpieces

Materials Needed:

  • Carvable pumpkins
  • Fall colored flowers
  • Berries
  • Floral foam
  • Big bows

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Tulle: Gather all materials and set your workspace for crafting.
  2. Create the Volume: Fill the bottom of the pumpkin with floral foam to securely hold the flowers.
  3. Prepare the Poly Satin Circles: Cut your flowers to the desired lengths, and arrange them next to the pumpkin.
  4. Layer the Components: Insert the flowers and berries into the floral foam, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  5. Additional Personalization: Add personal touches with decorative items like glitter or seasonal accents.
  6. Attach the Clip-On Earring: If applicable, decorate with clip-on earrings or similar embellishments.
  7. Prepare the Shoes: (This may not be applicable but can refer to completing any rustic decorations).
  8. Make Additional Pairs: Don’t hesitate to create more centerpieces using different varieties of pumpkins or colors.
  9. Enjoy Your Custom Creation: Display your beautiful pumpkin centerpiece and enjoy your creative work!
