DIY Thanksgiving Pumpkin Vase Centerpiece

Halloween is over, so it's time to transition those decorative pumpkins to the Thanksgiving table.  I used a foam pumpkin (you can get these on super sale now), some faux fall foliage and gold Tulip Beads in a Bottle to make a rustic elegant centerpiece in four simple steps!

 

You will need:

Foam pumpkin

Fabric fall foliage

Aleene's Tacky Dots on a Roll 1/2"

Tulip Beads in a Bottle in gold

Step One: Carve lid from pumpkin.  Step Two: Add glue dots to backs of leaves.  Step Three: Attach leaves to pumpkin overlapping and varying sizes.  Step Four:  Use Tulip Beads in  Bottle in gold on veins of leaves for added dimension and shine.

That's it!  You could add some crystals or glitter if you like extra sparkle.  If you want to use real flowers, slide a vase into pumpkin opening to prevent leaks or just place faux flowers into center.  This is something even the kids can do after you carve the lid!
