Create
A Beautiful Thanksgiving Centerpiece With Flowers
By Angela Tyler
Every Thanksgiving table should include a centerpiece to
add to the festive feel of your dinner. It's quick and easy
to make a Thanksgiving centerpiece from fall flowers, pumpkins,
gourds, and greenery. You can create a beautiful Thanksgiving
centerpiece in very little time and for very little money.
FLORAL PLATTER CENTERPIECE
Here is a simple centerpiece that you can arrange on a
tray or platter in just a few minutes: You will need a small
potted ivy or mum, a few small gourds or pumpkins, several
miniature pumpkins, a few apples, and some fresh or dried
greenery such as moss, leaves, or parsley, and of course
the platter or tray in which you will place your arrangement.
Place the mum or ivy on one side of the platter and place
a gourd and two small pumpkins next to the plant. Make sure
you water the plant, but sparingly so as not to overrun
or spill the water onto the other items on the platter.
Arrange the miniature pumpkins around the platter and place
the apples randomly to give a splash of color. Use small
apples of both red and green colors. Place the leaves and/or
greenery between the apples, gourds, and pumpkins. This
makes a wonderful centerpiece that will make your Thanksgiving
table a thing of beauty.
HARVEST GLASS BOWL WITH FLOWERS

After you have gathered your supplies, place the
tumbler inside the pumpkin and fill it halfway with
water.
Arrange the flowers in the tumbler and place the pumpkin
in the glass bowl.
Place the bowl containing the pumpkin and the flowers
on a cutting board or large glass plate on the table.
Arrange the leaves, gourds, and cranberries in a random
fashion around the pumpkin. Add a few small candles
if you wish. You will have a beautiful centerpiece
in just a few minutes of your time.

CRANBERRY CENTERPIECE
Create another easy centerpiece with only a clear glass
vase (any size you desire), two pounds of fresh or dried
cranberries, and a large bunch of pink or white carnations.
Cut the carnation stems so that the flowers will be just
above the top of the vase and remove any leaves. Place the
carnations inside the vase and pull the flowers away from
the edge. Drop the cranberries into the vase and then fill
with water. This is a very easy and inexpensive centerpiece
that will look beautiful on your table.
It is quite easy to make a memorable centerpiece with very
little time and money. Use your imagination and add lots
of colors and textures to create a centerpiece that will
create the perfect Thanksgiving atmosphere.
