Series: Fall
"And the Autumn clutches the forests green
In a hasty and eager clasp;
But the leaves are true to the Summer they love,
And they wither and fade in his grasp."
~J.J. Britton (1832–1913)
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, here is a last-minute idea for your table's centerpiece that will last for the memories. With Fall colors, candles, and flowers, it'll be the talk of the table. Let's dive into some creative fun!
Read Below To Create Your Cozy Centerpiece!
What You'll Need
Glass/Plastic Pebbles (For this project, we chose a peach color)
Glass Bowl (wide so you have space to design your water garden)
Gerbera Daisies (several different colors and sizes, we decided on analogous tones of white, yellow, and orange)
Tea Lights
Cups, Spoons, or Small Bowls (For scooping)
Water
Scissors or Garden Shears
Lighter/Matches
The Steps
Step 1: First, gather all your supplies (of course). Let's start by prepping your Gerbera daisies. Cut the stem entirely off until the nub on the back (this is so it will balance and float while in water). Repeat until you have an odd number of daisy heads.
Note: Set aside Gerbera Daisy heads for a later step.
Step 2: Now, take your glass or plastic pebbles, and line the bottom a good inch and a half so that you can see a layer on the bottom of the bowl.
Step 3: Then fill the bowl with water until the water level is about 3/4 filled. Now you are ready to start designing your water garden. Take your Gerbera Daisy and tea lights (3) and gently arrange them on the water's surface until you are pleased with how it looks.
Note: Make sure your tea lights still have the metal lining on the bottom otherwise they'll melt and cause a huge mess. In addition to not getting any water on top, or they won't light.
Step 4: Take your lighter or matches, light the tea lights, and presto! You now have a cozy, beautiful centerpiece for your Thanksgiving meal!
