Confession: I haven’t decorated my home for fall as much as I typically do. My mantle is still the same as it has been for months! This year with having a newborn, I just haven’t prioritized decorating.
But I have done a few small things, such as creating this very simple fall centerpiece! If I can do this with a newborn, a toddler, and a preschooler, you can too!
I just took a rectangular baking dish (but any shallow vessel, such as a basket or tray would work) and filled it with crinkley paper that recently came in a box I ordered (you could also use burlap or fabric). Then I layered in some sweet little white pumpkins ($.69 each at Trader Joe’s) and some pinecones (free) for added dimension.
I set the centerpiece on a placemat on the dining room table and called it a day!
There are so many different ways you could adapt this, such as using gourds, berries, leaves, or anything else “fallish”!
Happy simple decorating!
i love all your center pieces. Know whats funny… I honestly have never made a center piece… ever lol. Typically in the middle of my table is just a cute tin or basket for napkins, sometimes a fun planter pieces, but thats it. Not sure why but ive been terrible at decorating for holidays since we married. The 4 boys may have something to do with that 😉
There is usually nothing on my table :). We would always end up pushing it out of the way anyway. It’s cute though!
