We are going to Chris' family reunion Sat. Each time we have the reunion, they have an auction to raise money for the next reunion. They asked that we bring something hand made or sentimental. SOOOO.... what to bring, what to bring......
I finally decide to make a fall centerpiece for your table or mantle. It was easy and kind of just planned it as I went. I really didn't have a plan, just picked colors I liked and went from there. I went to Michael's craft store and bought a fake pumpkin, 1 bunch of fall colored flowers, 1 bunch of leaves with pumpkins, and 1 bunch with leaves that have berries, floral wire, wire-edged ribbon, and two blocks of floral styrofoam. These are all silk flowers and leaves by the way. I cut all the flowers at the bottom of the stems with a wire cutter. I cut the lid off the pumpkin and made a pretty big opening. Then I put the styrofoam in the bottom of the pumpkin and arranged the shorter flowers in the front and the longer leaves in the back. I also bought a cute little scarecrow and put it in the middle. Then I layered ribbon and twisted it in the middle and fastened it with wire to make a bow. Then placed it in the front of the arrangement. This was so fun, I think I will try this with Christmas decor or other holiday items. Have fun trying this!
