After visiting a fall themed bridal show, I was even more inspired to decorate my house for fall. I also saw some talk show that used a cake plate to hold fall decor and knew instantly what I wanted to do. So here is a simple way to use those cute little pumpkins in a decorative way...
Start with a simple covered cake plate. This idea gave me an excuse to go out and get one of these.
Next I went to the store and bought a hand basket full of these little pumpkins. I love the striped one!
I always go a bit overboard at the craft store so I had these leaves from a previous trip that I didn't have a use for until now.
After taking all the "leaves" off the "stems" I was ready to assemble my centerpiece. It couldn't be simpler... Just take the cover off the cake stand and fill it up with the pumkins and gourds. Throw some of the leaves into the empty spaces and put the stand on top of the cover. Invert and you have a really pretty centerpiece!
I had a few pumkins left over that didn't fit, so placed them around the stand along with some of my craft store flowers. I love this simple idea. And I already know what I am going to do with this stand for Christmas!
Very cute!!!!
