DIY Dollar Tree Fall Floral Centerpiece for Thanksgiving
Glass pumpkin jars are painted copper and fitted with fall flowers in this very easy DIY Dollar Tree Fall Floral Centerpiece. It makes a simple, elegant and inexpensive Thanksgiving decoration!
While shopping at Dollar Tree, I happened upon these absolutely adorable glass pumpkins. They don’t have lids, so I immediately thought how cute they might be as a thanksgiving centerpiece.
Thus, that’s the start of my DIY Dollar Tree Fall Floral Centerpiece. Just in time for Thanksgiving. (which I am hosting!)
When choosing paint, I was inspired by a similar DIY tutorial I remembered seeing on Pinterest. The paint used was copper and I loved how it looked.
After comparing the copper to the floral bunches I picked up also at Dollar Tree, I felt that copper would be the perfect color to turn these orange glass pumpkins into something more special.
To show you how inexpensive this project is, I got everything I needed EXCEPT the paint and fancy hemp rope at Dollar Tree. From Dollar Tree, I purchased 3 glass pumpkin jars, 3 floral bouquets, 1 styrofoam square and hot glue.
Dollar Tree also has jute and rope that could be used in place of hemp rope if you don’t have it. I happened to have some and when I finished assembling everything, I felt like something was missing.
I just wanted something a little extra and while I have both jute and the rope from Dollar Tree, I liked this just a bit better. Either way it’s going to look amazing.
I only needed a few items from Dollar Tree. I chose three of the glass pumpkin glasses because I like how clusters of three look, but you could totally do just a single one or two, or four.
Adjust the supplies as needed. This project can cost as little as $3-4. I spent a total of $8 at Dollar Tree. The can of spray paint was around $3 but will do plenty more projects!

Super cute!
These are so delightful! They are small enough to be a place card, too. Love that they are golden, the hot colors right now!
Sometimes simple is best. These are just stunning and no one needs to know the real cost. Such a great project for an afternoon. I bet your table looks lovely.
Adorable! I love the coppery-shimmery-shine on these little pumpkins. Just the right touch to make your table setting extra special.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving celebration!
