Fast And Easy Centerpieces For Your Holiday Table
Fast and Easy Centerpieces 1) Fill a basket with fruits and nuts and spread some of the nuts around the basket on the table.
2) Make an arrangement of different sized pumpkins, gourds, and squash.
Spread a few leaves around the centerpiece and add orange, brown, or dark green candles.
3) Cut the tops off of small pumpkins and scoop out the centers.
Place votive candles inside and make a grouping.
4) Make a bed of pine needles in the center of the table.
Fill a basket with pine cones and tie a brown plaid taffeta bow on the handle.
5) Make floating walnut candles: Scoop out the meat from the walnuts and set aside the shells.
Melt the stubs of old candles in a coffee can set in a pan of water on the stove.
If you place the shells in a pan of sand it will be easy to fill each one without dripping wax on your hand.
Use a short wick and hold upright in the center of each shell as you fill it with the melted wax.
Float the candles in a pretty bowl filled with water.

Surround with candles in fall colors.
7) Instead of a centerpiece, create a tiny arrangement of fall flowers in little vases, cups, or glasses at each person's place.
Use fall print napkins in fall colors and tie each one with a strand of ribbon.
Tuck a flower under each ribbon bow.
