Are you looking for some fall inspiration? Well, you came to the right place. I love all things fall.

6 Easy and Affordable Fall Centerpieces That You Can Make Yourself
Decorating for the fall does not need to break the bank. Fall centerpieces are the perfect way to add neutrals or pops of colors to your space.
I have some great easy and affordable fall centerpieces ideas that you can make yourself. Why buy expensive arrangements? Let me show you how to make some for your home.
1. fresh fruit

I love using fresh fruit in my decorations for the season. This table scape can be done indoors or outside. A throw is draped on the table with apples scattered.
Vegetables or fruits can be used as vessels for floral arrangements. Try using a pumpkin or cabbage with box wood clippings from your yard.



I bought greens at the local market for $4. The bunch of sunflowers from the Amish market for $5.

Another easy and affordable centerpiece is placing pears or apples in a large bowl or antique soup tureen. Fall is the season for apple picking. I love baking with apples in the fall. Why not use them in a simple centerpiece?
2. DRIED OR CUT FLOWERS FROM YOUR YARD

Create a grouping of fall items and incorporate a vase of flowers from your garden or the local market. Shop your house to use want you have in fall decorations. Adding a riser with your grouping adds visual interest and draws your eyes to look over the objects.

I love to use Hydrangeas that have been dried from yard. They are great affordable items for centerpieces. Check out my post on how to dry Hydrangeas here.
3. faux greenery

If you do not have a green thumb, no worries. Try adding faux branches to a vase that you own.

Use any gift cards you may have or coupons from Target to snag a few branches. I am using four stems here. This vase has a large opening. The trick is to insert a smaller vase inside. You will use less stems/branches.



I use shipping paper and bubble wrap to secure my vase.

Buy your floral stems on sale. I bought these stems for 90% off clearance. Six stems at 60 cents for each piece!



I used the same hack as the other large vase. This smaller vase fits nicely without the need for bubble wrap or brown paper.
4. real plants

If you love plants and have them around the house, here is an easy centerpiece. Add a seasonal pick. It does not get any easier!
You can just leave it on the table and add an inexpensive pumpkin pick. This grapevine pumpkin pick is from Hobby Lobby and is 40% off.

You can even add a few beads tucked into your plant for some added texture.
5. Lantern
Another favorite item to use in tablescapes is a lantern. It is the perfect item for a quick and easy centerpiece.

Above is a wooden open lantern that can hold a large candle or try using a vase with florals. Try pairing tea lights on each side. You could even put a pumpkin in the center of this open lantern.
6. USING A CLOCHE
One of my favorite items to use in creating a centerpiece is a cloche. I use one all the time in my house. This one has a large glass dome.

Here I have dried some sunflowers and placed one in a nest. A couple dried flowers are next to the terra cotta pot. It is easy to change out your centerpiece from summer to fall by switching out a couple of items.

It is perfect to hold a mercury glass pumpkin. I have a timer tea light inside with a few burlap leaves. A very easy affordable centerpiece that you can make with items you may have on hand. If you do not have a cloche, add a wreath on the wooden tray. Place the pumpkin in the center.
Hope you enjoyed these 6 easy and affordable fall centerpieces that you can make yourself. These centerpieces can be placed on a dining table, coffee or console tables or the kitchen island. Have fun creating your fall centerpieces!

Tammy,
I love these 6 easy and affordable centerpiece ideas. This is great information!!
Tammy says
Thank you so much, Rachel. I really appreciate it.
Marty says
Super ideas. I love your pretty floral arrangements and I like the real plants too. I think my favorite is the cloche. I really like using a cloche and you don’t see them too often lately. Great post.
Tammy says
Thank you so much, Marty. I appreciate your comments and feedback. Cloches are my absolute favorite!

These are all absolutely gorgeous! I especially love those cloches, such a pretty vignette! So glad we got to do this fall tour together!

Me too, Robyn. It’s always a treat for me to be joining you in a tour together. I love my cloches. You know how much fun they are to style.
Wendy McMonigle says
Tammy, what wonderful fall arrangements you have shared. They are all beautiful, but I do love that sunflower under the cloche the most. And the texture on the pot…… I am drooling. The darn squirrels stole all of my sunflowers, so I am going to have to buy some to dry.
Tammy says
Wendy, those darn squirrels! They get into my flower gardens too. I had to buy bird seeds with hot pepper so they stay out of my feeders. It does not bother the birds.
Jennifer Howard says
Love, love. love!! So many gorgeous shots!! The cloche w/ sunflowers has me in its grips!
Tammy says
Thank you, my sweet friend. I love the sunflowers in the cloche too. I want to dry some more.
