Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Today I want to share with you a really quick and easy Thanksgiving Centerpiece.  If you follow me on Instagram then you probably saw this cute bucket that I picked up from the $1 spot at Target.  This bucket was $2.50 though.  As soon as I saw it I knew that I wanted to get it and make some kind of Thanksgiving Decoration with.  I just didn’t know what.

Once I got it home, I decided I wanted to put some vinyl on it.  I recently bought the Storybook Cricut Cartridge for another project that I’m going to make, and thought it would be the perfect font for this project.  I cut my words out using my Cricut and then put them on.  It is a little tricky putting vinyl on something that is smaller at the bottom than the top, but I got it to work.

When I got the vinyl all on, I had to find something to put in the bucket. I remembered these cute little pumpkins that our Grandma grew in her garden, and gave to us.

The handles were just begging to have something done to them, so I used some of my burlap ribbon and did a simple knot.  I’m beginning to think that I should have bought more than one roll of this cute ribbon.  I don’t love burlap in large quantities, but I’m loving this ribbon.

I’m so excited to have this sitting on my kitchen table, it’s even helping me to want to wipe the table down more regularly, just so I can put it on there.  I’m hoping to make a fall table runner in the next few days that would go under it.  We’ll see if that gets done before Thanksgiving. 🙂
What do you have on your table for a centerpiece?
