OK so answer this question honestly... how many times have you wanted to put together a centerpiece but had no idea what to make or where to start? If you're anything like me, you keep telling yourself that you'll do it next year, or when the kids are older, or when you have more time. Well honey, the time is now! With a few simple steps, you can make your own Fall centerpieces that you can use year after year.
The pumpkin centerpiece can be made in any color (although the picture shows only blues and purples). Pumpkins usually come in either orange or white, so picking the candle colors may depend on your color choice for pumpkins. The first step is to break off the stem and take a small cookie cutter, pounding it down into the pumpkin with a mallet. Carve out the plug by cutting around it with a paring knife. Insert a votive or tall taper candle, wedging these into place if necessary and securing with museum wax. Paring the candle colors with the table linens, or beads inside the candle holder, is a nice added final touch. If you really wanted to get fancy you could put sashes on each chair, alternating designs or colors.
