Learn how to make this simple DIY fall centerpiece that is perfect for your fall table. \u00a0This fall centerpiece only requires a few tools and can be customized any way you like and used for any season.<\/h2>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite season? \u00a0I think fall might be mine. \u00a0I love all of the smells (give me pumpkin spice everything!) and the crisp mornings. \u00a0While we don\u2019t exactly have seasons here in the desert, I love to bring those seasonal colors into my decor. \u00a0This DIY fall centerpiece is one of those projects that is perfect for any season, but is especially great for fall.<\/p>\n

How To Make A Fall Centerpiece<\/h2>\n

In this tutorial, I will show you how to build a fall centerpiece with just a few tools. \u00a0It\u2019s a perfect project if you\u2019re just learning to use tools and want to add your own DIY home decor. \u00a0<\/p>\n

For this project, you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1\u00d76 board<\/li>\n
  • 1\u00d74 board<\/li>\n
  • wood glue<\/li>\n
  • miter saw<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/4\u201d brad nails<\/li>\n
  • 18ga brad nail gun<\/li>\n
  • 220 grit sandpaper<\/li>\n
  • Stain or paint of your choice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Build The Box<\/h2>\n

    \"assemble-fall-centerpiece\"<\/p>\n

    Cut a 1\u00d76 down to 24\u2033 long for the base. \u00a0Cut two 1x4s at 24\u2033 for the sides. \u00a0For the ends, cut two 1x4s at 4\u2033 long.<\/p>\n

    \"wood-box-fall-centerpiece\"<\/p>\n

    Glue and nail the pieces together with 1 1\/4\u2033 brad nails and \u00a0give it a light sanding to take away any rough or splintered areas. \u00a0Paint or stain the box in your favorite color. \u00a0This was stained with Minwax stain in Provencial.<\/p>\n

    How To Make A Simple DIY Table Runner<\/h2>\n

    \"metallic-table-runner\"To add a little something extra to the centerpiece, make a DIY table runner. \u00a0Since I stained the box the same color as the table, I knew I needed to put it on a table runner. \u00a0I bought a 4\u2019x5\u2032 drop cloth from Lowes for around $5. \u00a0I took the\u00a0easy<\/del>\u00a0lazy way out and just cut a 12\u2033 wide section across the drop cloth. \u00a0This yielded a 12\u00d748\u2033 table runner. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    I wanted to have a chevron design, so I just made up a quick pattern with painters tape. \u00a0There isn\u2019t any specific method that I used. \u00a0I just cut the tape pieces and stuck them together at 90 degree angles across the runner. \u00a0Like I said, I was going for easy here. \u00a0I mixed 1 part fabric medium with two parts of Martha Stewart metallic paint in copper and then dabbed it on with a sponge. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \"metallic-chevron-table-runner\"<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    I peeled up the paper and, voila! \u00a0I made sure to peel the tape up in one piece, so I could just stick it down when I painted the other side of the runner.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s the end result! \u00a0<\/p>\n

    How To Style A Fall Centerpiece<\/h2>\n

    \"fall-centerpiece\"<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s the finished centerpiece. \u00a0I used quart-sized mason jars with 3\u2033 pillar candles. \u00a0The candles were a bit too tall, so I just cut an inch or so off of the bottoms of them with a chef\u2019s knife.<\/p>\n

    \"fall-centerpiece-with-acorns-and-leaves\"<\/p>\n

    To fill in the box, you can use just about anything. \u00a0Fill it with acorns, leaves, cinnamon sticks, mini pumpkins, etc. \u00a0I chose to fill it with some acorns I had collected as well as oak leaves. \u00a0The leaves were a beautiful gold color when I picked them, but turned a yucky brown color a few days later so I decided to paint them to give them a little bit of a metallic flair as well.<\/p>\n

    This DIY fall centerpiece is such a quick and fun project that you can customize in so many ways. \u00a0Whether you love the stained look, the chippy paint look, or all natural! \u00a0Throw some handles on the ends for a little something extra. \u00a0Swap out the filler when the seasons\/holidays change. \u00a0The possibilities are endless! \u00a0<\/p>\n
