I had a creative brain storm last night and I can’t wait to show you what I came up with…

Fall Crafts

 

You will need:

peat pots

pine cones

gold metallic spray paint (Kryon is my fave)

a vintage shutter (optional, BUT looks SO good in the middle of a dining table)

fall colored leaves

acorns

a berry vine

twigs

magnolia pods

dried sunflowers

dried artichokes (optional)

a table (coffee table or dining room table)

Fall Decorating Ideas

 First:

Place your pine cone in the peat pot. You will want to use smallish pine cones so they sit snug in your peat pot.

 Step 2:

Using your gold Krylon spray paint,  paint your peat pot and pine cone.

(I like Krylon because it dries fast)

Thanksgiving Tablescape

 Once your pine cones and peat pots are dry, the REAL fun begins.

Shutter as a Table Runner

 Place your shutter on a table.  The begin to place all of the other components randomly on your shutter.

Gold Thanksgiving Ideas

 Wind your vine through and around your DIY Gold Thanksgiving Decor.

Gold Fall Topiary

 My colored leaves are from a recent trip to California.  My acorns are from my trip to Washington D.C. last month.

The dried artichokes were a Pottery Barn purchase a few years ago.  I love using them for Fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorating.

Who would have thought peat pots, pine cones, leaves, acorns could make such an impact for a Fall or Thanksgiving table? You could even add candles for a more formal look.

    Hi Meegan, I love your Fall tabletop on top of the shutter. I also like the fact that you can see over it and it doesn’t dominate the room. Unfortunately, my cat would make quick work of all those little things. They always seem to go for the place you don’t want them to go! Still liking it though & it provides inspiration. Pinning.
