DIY: Pumpkin Centerpieces

I love floral arrangements that add some autumnal variety to the mix, like this beautiful pumpkin centerpiece. One of YumSugar's pals has directions on how to create this gorgeous pumpkin centerpiece. After you make this arrangement, pop over to Meeta's site What's For Lunch, Honey? and check out the beautiful food photographs she's taken.
Here's what you need:
- Colored leaves, chestnuts, acorns, berries, twigs, flowers—basically anything a long walk in the woods will give you.
- A rose - the color of the rose should match the fall colors of the bouquet
- Floral foam
- Wired wood picks
- Greening pins
- Floral glue
- small plate or tea saucer
- Knife
- Scissors
