Thanksgiving DIY Centerpieces
Since I lack any sort of cooking skills, I am never any help in the kitchen and am happily given the task of decorating, specifically creating a Thanksgiving centerpiece. Every year, my parents host Thanksgiving at their house, and a huge amount of my extended family stay over. It’s always a ton of fun, but also quite hectic (15+ people sleeping over!). Last year I created a centerpiece with lemons, which received many compliments, but this year my mom already started to make one.

Now, don’t get me wrong, this is a beautiful Centerpiece. I just feel it is a bit “Christmas-ey,” and needs to look a little more “Fall-ish.” I thought perhaps something orange or brown would do the trick, so I bought some dried out Eucalyptus Leaves, which smell delicious!

I’m not exactly sure how to add these to the Centerpiece. Any ideas about how to make the Centerpiece above a little more “Fall-ish?”
Here are some DIY Centerpieces I found online, which I love and have inspired me.

I’m a big fan of candle centerpieces in huge glass vases with other stuff in them! I love the last one. My friend made a cute one last year with cream colored candles and cranberries.

Oh love the last one with the nuts. I think if you replace the greenery with your eucalyptus, it should do the trick. Looking forward to seeing the final center piece!

@homestilo Thanks so much for the tip! Will definitely post a pic of the final centerpiece.
