An Easy Centerpiece

This Thanksgiving centerpiece looks lavish, but it's actually easy to make from artificial materials found at any craft or floral store.

If you have a bountiful garden or nearby wooded area, try this project using natural ingredients instead.


To get started, set an amber candleholder on a platter. Then bend six to eight artificial, wired leaf branches into a circle to fit around the candleholder. Now you can nestle other items into the foliage. We used miniature pears, acorns, and gourds. You can also try pinecones or sprigs of evergreen. Finish up with a few berry sprigs for a mix of sizes and textures.

To make this project even easier, buy a flexible fall leaf garland to surround the candleholder before placing the decorations in and around the leaves. Place a candle inside the holder and light it at dinnertime.
