2.  The holidays are just around the corner. They are
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and
Kwanzaa.
 It’s the time of year when decorations are most noticed.
 And this tutorial will demonstrate how to create a
beautiful centerpiece that can be use on your TV stand,
diningroom or coffee tables.
 They would also make a great gifts.
 The main focus will be on Fall harvest season.

3.  Before you can begin to
create the centerpiece
you have to buy
supplies.
 One all time favorite is
Michaels arts and crafts
store.
 The other favorite is
Dollar Tree where
everything you purchase
is $1.00
 Once the supplies are
purchased get ready to
let the creativity flow.

4.  Before you begin
creating your centerpiece
you must be prepared.
 Make sure all the
materials and tools
needed are ready to
used within arms reach.
 And the space is setup
to make being creative
as easy as possible.

5.  For this centerpiece I found
a basket that makes it easy
to weave the foliage,
cinnamon scented popurri,
colorful fall foliage, small
pumpkins, candles, scissors
and glue.
 Very little glue will be
needed because of the easy
weaving in the basket.

6.  Clear you space leave only
what you’re need and begin
weaving the foliage one at a
time in the basket.
 When weaving you have to
make sure that you properly
space each piece as it’s
added.
 You don’t want to bunch them
together because it wouldn’t
make the foliage around the
basket look good.
 Make sure to use different
colors to make the
centerpiece pop.

7.  Don’t rush through
weaving because you will
want the pieces to be
secure.
 Only add glue where you
think it’s necessary.
 When using a basket it
allows you to easily
make changes if needed
because you won’t need
much glue if any.

8.  Now the cinnamon popurri can be
added gradually.
 More can be added later as needed.

9.  Once the some of the popurri has
been place around the bottom of
the basket you can then add the
small pumpkins.
 Space the pumpkins so that the
candles will neatly fit between
them.
 When they are all in place finish up
by adding more cinnamon popurri.

10.  Place your centerpiece on a coffee table,
Dining room table or TV stand.
 Put it anyplace you heart desires.
 It will not only be beautiful but the scent of
cinnamon will fill the air.

11.  Crafting is something that most people can do from eight to
eighty.
 It can be an enjoyable pass time for families to bring them
closer by creating something beautiful together.
 The best part about crafting is usually something beautiful
comes out of it.
 There are many reasons to craft but it depends on the
individual.
 One of the best things about creating something beautiful is
that it unique and special because you made it with your own
hands.
 Another good thing about creating your very own special
pieces they make great gifts.
 So if you ever thought about crafting but thought it’s not for
you or you’re not creative just give it a try.
 You may begin to like using your imagination and creating
that/those special piece(s)
