DIY Fall Decor: Getting Started

Let's begin by pulling out the supplies you will need.  This fall flower arrangement is probably the easiest one you will ever create.

Well, except for maybe my last years Hygge Thanksgiving table centerpiece.  It may be just a little bit easier.

All you need is a dough bowl or vintage dough bowls;

artificial olive branches,

hydrangea artificial flowers,

and white pumpkins or any pumpkins you can paint white.

Oh, did I mention that this could be placed anywhere?  Not just fall table decorations.

Here are a few ideas from some amazing creators who were decorating with dough bowls for the harvest season.

Fall Table Decorations

Okay, so I decided this beauty is going to sit on our main dining room buffet table.  I think it will be the perfect Thanksgiving flower arrangement this year.

Now that we know where it will be displayed it's on the styling of this wooden dough bowl.

Add Greenery

In some situations, I like to add the taller items first, but on this wooden bread bowl, I suggest beginning with the greenery.

Why?  Because everything is almost the same height so adding the body or items that fill the most space seems to be the right place to start.

I used olive branches here.  I wanted something non-traditional for this fall and these olive branches were well made and looked great.

Add Hydrangeas

So, I know hydrangeas seem to be a nontraditional fall table decorations, but I like adding a little out of the ordinary.  The texture and color of the hydrangeas seem to do the trick.

Gently place the white hydrangeas in between the greenery.  Space them out so they balance and where there is negative space between them.  It is good to give them plenty of room and not look crowded.

Paint your Pumpkins

The dollar store is a great place to look for artificial pumpkins.

Since our wooden dough bowl fall flower arrangement needs to last all autumn season, then artificial does the trick.

However, most of the artificial pumpkins don't look real so again I am going for the unique and giving them a coat of white paint.

It is very simple.  I use milk paint and paint the pumpkins.  I don't sand or prime the pumpkins.  Just a couple of coats of paint.

However, let me warn you that one time I had a pumpkin that kept yellowing over time.  I am not what was on that pumpkin, but it seemed to be going bad.  LOL!

But for the most part all the pumpkins I have painted, and I have painted many pumpkins, they hold up to the white color pretty well.

Place the pumpkins on the wooden dough bowl

Last, step is the icing on the cake.  Gracefully display these gorgeous white dollar store pumpkins into the wooden bread bowl fall flower arrangement.

The pumpkins polish off any fall table decorations and make this DIY fall decor ideas sweet!
