Here's an easy way to create an autumn centerpiece. I was inspired by the brandy snifter centerpieces we recently used at church when we deaconesses hosted our pastoral staff appreciation brunch. I don't have a brandy snifter, so I decided to modify. You will need a decorative glass container, small pinecones, a battery-operated pillar candle and faux autumn leaves.
Select your glass container.
Place your battery-operated candle in the center of the bowl. A real lighted candle would be dangerous so close to pinecones and leaves.
Layer small pinecones around the base of the candle.

Fill in with faux leaves (remember that even dollar stores carry these).
I had to experiment with my new placemat. A friend with whom I craft made one for each of us the last time we got together.
Isn't she talented? Won't it be perfect beginning November 1 when I decorate for Thanksgiving?
You can literally throw together this centerpiece in a few minutes, using whatever you have on hand. Be creative and give thanks!
