DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece

You are here: Home / Autumn / DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece

Hello Beautiful Souls,

Today I’m sharing instructions on how to create your very own pumpkin centerpiece from artificial flowers, pumpkins, berries, leaves, and anything else you would like to add. The centerpiece will look great on your table this fall and will be the perfect centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table. So follow along with me and we’ll get started.

Items needed for DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece

  • small plate or other container
  • block of floral foam
  • assorted pumpkins
  • assorted fall leaves
  • assorted berries, wheat, and other accessories
  • wirecutters
  • glue gun

I began the pumpkin centerpiece by gluing the block of foam to the plate and then gluing the largest pumpkin onto the top of the foam. I got the small plate and block of foam from Dollar Tree. The pumpkins were from Walmart.

The next step was to add fall leaves at the base. I used some flat stems of individually wired fall leaves, cutting them into smaller pieces before adding them to the foam. I placed them in an elongated shape along the perimeter of the foam. I found these leaf stems at Dollar Tree.

I then filled in with more fall leaves. I separated into individual stems and placed them around the pumpkin and tried to fill in as much as possible to cover the floral foam. These leaves were also from Dollar Tree.

The next stems added were mini pomegranate stems (at least that’s what I think they were). I found these also at the Dollar Tree. Again I cut them into individual stems and mixed them in as evenly as possible amongst the leaves.

Smaller pumpkins were next to add. I glued the pumpkins onto leftover stem pieces before using them.

Then added the mini pumpkins to the centerpiece.

I continued the same process with each items that I added to the centerpiece. Next were some mums.

Then wheat and corn shucks were added. I found these at Walmart.

And finally added some bittersweet.

I’m just loving this centerpiece. So beautiful and elegant for a Thanksgiving table.

How GORGEOUS is this? I hope I’ve inspired you to get creative and make one for yourself.

Would you use this for your Thanksgiving table?

Happy Crafting!

Pamela

Meet Pamela, the Creator

Pamela, Creator

Born and raised in rural, Missouri, I'm a wife of 30 years and mother to one adult son.

My interest in all things artsy-craftsy began as a young girl. If there was a craft kit for it, I've probably tried it: paint-by-number, latch-hooking rugs, candle-making, shrinky-dinks, string-art, etc. I loved them all! For many years I was able to express my creativity on-the-job as a florist, and love using silk florals in my home decorating projects.

I'm excited to share my crafting and home decorating ideas with you. I like finding that perfect thrift store item and crafting something new out of it, or giving that old piece of furniture a new life with a fresh coat of paint. I hope my projects will inspire you to get craftsy and create things to help decorate a home you love.

Happy Crafting!
