Fall/Harvest Decorations

I love to decorate during the change of seasons and fall harvest is my most favorite time of year.  Decorating for this time of year doesn't have to be expensive at all.  I have a candle center piece that is always on my dining room table but with just a few flowers for 5.00, small pumpkins and fake leaves is all it takes to change the complete look of your table setting.

This was the candle holder that sits on our dining room table through out the year.  I love it.  It was a B-day gift from my daughter.  I had ask my husband if I could buy some cheap seasonal fall flowers and explained to him that I could add it to the candle holder and have an awesome center piece.  He agreed but I had to agree that I wouldn't spend that much.  So I promised and $5.00 later had a set of very nice flowers for fall harvest.

I also already had some Styrofoam that we picked up from the flea market for a few cents and I do enough
crafts that I already had a glue gun.  I simply cut the foam to fit the center piece, glued it in place, I then used wire cutters and started cutting the flowers and just started arranging the flowers in a way that looked pleasing to the eye.  A half hour later I had this:

 

My center piece turned out beautiful.  After I was done with that I then dug out the artificial fall leaves I had bought from Walmart last year with some fake pumpkins.  It was a kit of about 9 pumpkins and a few leaves.  I also bought just a bag of leaves which was about $3.00.to decorate additional tables.  

I love this time of year and love even more decorating and creating on a budget.  Here is the leaves and pumpkins that i put out.  

One is a real miniature pumpkin we picked up at a local farm the other two is part of the kit that i had bought last year at Wal-mart for a minimal price.

Here is the complete center piece of our dining room table.  

If you would like to create your own and need any help just let me know.  I would be happy to give a few pointers.  

Happy Harvest!!!
