Oh I am so glad Fall is here!! It is by far my favorite season and by far the most fun to decorate for. I have been itching to start busting out the pumpkins and this weekend that is just what I did. My mother-in-law mentioned that the Marketstreet had their baby ghost pumpkins on sale…3 for $2… say no more! I made a stop at Homegoods before picking them up because I knew I wanted to make a centerpiece and needed some shantys to get the job done. I found these three copper colored candlesticks on the clearance aisle for $3 a piece… SCORE! While I didn’t hate their color I decided to spray paint them with Rustoleum American Accents Canyon Black paint. I really can’t express enough how GREAT this line of paint is…. SO much better than any others I have tried. You can find it at Hobby Lobby and at Joann’s.
While those were drying I took a frame apart and covered the cardboard with burlap. I just used my hot glue gun to pull the sides first and then the top and bottom.
Once that was done I stuck it back in the frame…
And then I flipped it right-side up… HOW Cute!! I almost like it just like this and you can put anything on it:)
Now for the fun part…. I got my new black candlesticks and put them on top of the tray. I then put all my baby ghost pumpkins on the bottom… don’t they make you smile?? Finally I put 3 gourds on each candlestick and I was done… What do you think?? I will be sharing my frugal fall centerpiece over at Thrifty Finds at Southern Hospitality and at Met Mondays over at Between Naps on the Porch… Check it out!

That is so pretty! I wish I could do somethng like that, my cats would totally destroy it.
I love it!!! I need to find me some ghost pumpkins.
How cute is that! Very nice!!!
I LOVE IT! Those candle sticks are so cute, but so much cuter in black! It all turned out beautifully!
Fabulous idea. Simple and elegant, just a lovely centerpiece!
Darling little centerpiece! Love it. 🙂
That is a great idea! And I love the light neutrals instead of orange for fall…orange and only orange can be a bit much and is really too much for most places.
Very simple and creative, sometimes less is better! Thanks for sharing a great fall idea with us!
Too, too cute! I love the burlap, what a great idea!
I love it! All of it!
