Hey, hey! Turkey day is almost here. This year we are hosting the big shindig. I thought I would share an easy Thanksgiving centerpiece with you. I am all for simple, simple, simple. I don’t do well with to many things and pieces….how I manage everyday life is quite a mystery! Anywho….back to the easy thanksgiving centerpiece.

I do not like really large centerpieces where you can’t see the person you are across from. Of course this works pretty good with bickering teenagers…. I prefer to keep the centerpieces low.

Like most of my DIY’s, I encourage you to use your imagination. You can use this as a guide… if you do not have everything that is called for…use something else.

Supplies for the easy thanksgiving centerpiece:

• cake platter or pedestal bowl
• Spanish moss
• moss balls ( found at craft stores)
• textures balls (I made mine but found at craft stores)
• small gourds
• table runner

Place the Spanish moss onto your base. Spread it around until you are happy with the amount.

With your fingers, make small openings in the moss where you will set your first 4 items. This will help hold the balls in place.

Put your moss and textured balls into the indents you have created. This will be your base of the arrangement.

Take your gourds and put them around and on top of the balls. You can add as many or few as you would like. Also if you want, you can place any extra gourds on the table runner next to the centerpiece.

I found the Spanish moss at Jo-Ann Fabrics.

My cake platter came from Target

The moss balls can be found at Michael’s

Here are some textured balls

and a cute grey table runner.

Gourds can be found at any grocery store.
