I am sharing some easy Thanksgiving Centerpieces and Table Decor ideas you can make in minutes. The inspiration for the first centerpiece was some vintage tool caddy or totes. I had a “new” looking centerpiece box, and I wanted to make it look old and rustic like my Father’s tool caddies (see the below photo).

How to Create Easy Thanksgiving Centerpieces

What you will need:

Supplies and Tools

You can find all my fall favorite finds HERE!

Start by gathering all your decorating supplies.

Note: I like to collect more supplies than I need (it helps to inspire me).

Place the candles in first to see what space you have to add florals.

Next, cut floral foam (the foam I used)to fill the candles’ spaces using a bread knife.

You can fill your rustic centerpiece box with any florals. However, I recommend filling it by distributing the size, color, and shapes.

Fill in the box with golden orange florals. Then, cut the floral bushes apart with wire cutters (these are my favorite).

Distribute acorns and pinecones evenly in your Thanksgiving centerpiece. I added wood disks under the candles to add some height.
