It’s getting to that time of year when fast and frugal sounds fabulous when it comes to holiday decorating!
I first saw this idea shared on HomeTalk by Barb of The Everyday Home and thought it would make a great centerpiece for Thanksgiving! Here’s my version of this fabulous faux pumpkin planter!
This is such a quick and easy project and with the fall decor going on sale a frugal one as well.
Here’s all you need!
A Faux or Real Pumpkin for your planter
Oasis (water absorbing kind if you use real flower stems)
Knife
Wire cutters
Faux flower stems or Real Flowers.
and for the tutorial you can watch this video put together by HomeTalk where Vanessa and I, along with our friend KariAnne of Thistlewood Farm, share 5 great “Decorating on a Dime” projects!
Vanessa will be showing you a re-cap tomorrow of her projects and you can see KariAnne’s fabulous mantel over at Thistlewood Farm!
I really love how this turned out.
I was able to use colors that compliment my dining room decor, but this would also be beautiful with mums, ornamental peppers or even some gorgeous red and orange leaves!
During this busy season don’t let time and money stop you from creating beautiful holiday decor!

Very pretty, Heather! It makes for a great Fall centerpiece. I don’t know why I thought cutting those pumpkins would be difficult.

Hi JP! Thank you! It’s a plugin called CommentLuv that is really easy to install. I know it’s available for WordPress, but might be available for Blogger blogs as well.

Very Pretty! I’m all about easy these days. I just don’t have the oomph to be complicated.
This is such a great idea for Thanksgiving, Heather. I love anything quick, easy and inexpensive that turns out as pretty as your flower arrangement did!
