It seems like as soon as the children go back to school the relaxing months of summer come to a full stop and everyone is busy. Fall is a super busy time of year around here with the flurry of designing, creating and decorating for the holidays. I found a way to save a ton of time decorating and I wanted to share my best secret for making fall dough bowl arrangements in five minutes.

This selection of round fillers was too interesting not to include.

Starting with the natural filler elements and then adding the thriller elements.

The easy part is cutting the vase filler bags open and adding the elements to the dough bowl. When I added the rustic burlap pumpkins it give the arrangement a relaxed rustic look that will work in any room.

Finished these gorgeous dough bowl arrangements in 5 minutes! I am happy with the results of all the interesting elements inviting my eye to stay a while and enjoy the arrangement.




Texture and variety add visual interest to your fall table arrangements
The leaves I added for little extra green and variation.

The fall dough bowl arrangement is ready so now its time to set the table with a linen table runner, candles and place-settings.




5 minute fall decor
Adding a wood bead garland with a tassel helps the eye to follow around the arrangement. You can see in the photo below I added two of my DIY Goodwill shirt pumpkins (learn how to make some from an earlier post) that are fun and whimsical.

More dough bowl arrangement ideas
I was having too much fun to stop there so I rearranged and added and subtracted elements for a different look. I added only one orange element and you can see how your eye goes directly to it and gets stuck there.
Then I removed the orange element and added green pumpkins and some other white elements.
Adding 3 orange elements works much better since your eye travels around to see all 3 of them.




Easy and fast dough bowl arrangements
With some of the extra vase filler items I made a quick and easy display on the buffet table. Easy fall centerpiece in minutes is the perfect use for the extra fall fillers.
