This is just a potpourri of flowers that mostly came from the Dollar Tree. Add in a few pumpkins spray painted also from the DT, and you're almost there.
Finish it off with a few feathers and for a little glitz, make some ribbon loops out of shiny gold ribbon from the DT. Just cut a length of wired ribbon and pinch together at the two ends, tie off with fine wire.
I used white, gold and oil rubbed bronze spray paint.
Love the way the ribbon glows in the candlelite. I pushed wooden skewers through the bottom of the pumpkins, pushed the skewers into the foam for varying heights.
Basically the same flowers, just in a different container.
Most of the same elements again. Just mix in everything that you have.
Look around and see what you have, I am sure you can pull together something beautiful and very inexpensively.
Hope you all have a very Blessed Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by, I always enjoy your visits.

Marty, glitzy & ritzy! I love it girl. I haven't been to Dollar Tree in quite awhile. This has spurred me on to visit. I am wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'll be checking out from the blogging world for awhile.
ReplyDeleteIts gorgeous Marty!

ReplyDeleteGreat arrangements Marty. I have just used what I have around the house, too. I am not hosting Thanksgiving this year (sister is), but I do have family coming from out of town.

ReplyDeleteYou make it look so easy. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteThat is just so pretty! I'm afraid no matter how I tried mine would never look like that!
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! Oh, you're so good. This is lovely! You would make Dollar Tree so proud!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

This is lovely! I'm using fruit mainly for Thanksgiving. I haven't even begun to concieve Christmas this year yet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know. I'm a procrastinator...
Your table looks beautiful. Thanks for the idea, I'm just starting to think about what I'm going to do for decorations and that's given me some inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMarty,

What a beautiful centerpiece, Marty!

Beautiful, Marty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you. ~ Sarah
Wow, how incredible that you took a collection of $1 items and made them look like a million bucks. That centerpiece is incredible, they're all amazing.
ReplyDeleteIsn't dollar Tree great? I can't say I've been able to make anything as lovely as your centerpiece (but I'm up for trying for Thanksgiving) but I do browse thru dollar tree a few times a year and I usually find something. The best part is when people assume I went to a high-end store in town.
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty table...so festive, just right for the season.(-:
ReplyDeleteSo pretty
ReplyDeleteI love what you can find at the dollar store too Marty. Your centerpiece looks fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour floral arrangements are just gorgeous. I love how you mixed all kinds of different floral items. It's one of my favorite ways to do an arrangement.
