We are over at The Wood Connection today sharing this adorable Fall centerpiece! We are always thrilled to share another awesome Wood Connection project. I don’t know about you, but Steff and I are ready for Fall. Cooler temperatures, beautiful colors, and the holidays right around the corner! We recently re-finished a dining table and 2 benches for my kitchen and thought a beautiful Fall Centerpiece would be perfect for kicking off some Fall decor!
Here’s what you need:
- Shadow Box (from the Wood Connection)
- Paint
- Stencil
Start by painting the entire shadow box. We chose gold.
We cut an arrow on vinyl using my Silhouette machine and used it as a stencil. Any stencil or no stencil works great too. Place the stencil on the painted shadow box.
Now paint the whole thing white and let dry.
Last, peel off the the stencil and lightly sand the edges of the box which will let some gold show through.
That’s it for the centerpiece box! So simple!
We thought we’d share how we made the wheat pots to go in the centerpiece too.
Find 3-4 pots to set in the box. We used terra cotta pots-they are super cheap and easy to find; plus they were a perfect fit and look very Fall-y. Also get some floral foam and wheat (we got ours from Hobby Lobby.)
First, stuff a chunk of floral foam into the pots and fill in with the smaller cut pieces. Then cut the wheat stems to the height you want, and push the bunch into the floral foam.
Top the pots with mixed beans to cover the foam.
We put a a strip of washi tape around the top of each pot. To finish, tie a piece of ribbon around each bunch of wheat. Done! Simple, and quick!
It’s the perfect early Fall display!
