With
all the work that goes into planning and preparing your Thanksgiving meal, you
want your table to look festive and pretty, but who wants to spend a lot of
time on a centerpiece? I sure don’t, and I bet you don’t either, so I’ve come
up with a few quick and easy ideas to spruce up your holiday table.
Idea
#1: Begin with a fall wreath. Place a large candle in the center—I used one
with a sugar cookie scent—then fill in around it with colorful items you have
on hand. I used gourds, but you could use apples, oranges, or pears.
Idea
#2: Begin with the same fall wreath, but instead of the candle, use a small
pumpkin and surround it with squash.
Idea
#3: Fill a basket with gourds and squash.
Do
you have any quick and easy centerpiece ideas?

ReplyDeleteThanks, Patricia! They're really easy, and I just used things I had around the house. I loved the fact that I didn't have to spend any money on them.
