Here is another quick and easy centerpiece for the fall season! With a few changes, you can use it for both Halloween and Thanksgiving.
watercolordoodledpumpkinpaperlanternsUsing my DIY cake plate, a paper doily, some flowers from the garden, a dollar store candle holder, battery operated tea lights and two paper lanterns, I created a simple arrangement for a sideboard or your kitchen counter!
watercoloronpaperlanternsThe paper lanterns came in a package of two and were only $1 at Michaels. They started off white, so I added some orange and yellow watercolor to them to create more of a pumpkin feeling.
