Thanksgiving centrepiece idea -
Here is a great idea in case you need a last minute, cheap and cheerful, and oh-so easy thanksgiving centrepiece!
Grab 4-5 gorgeously coloured maple tree branches, each about 12-14” long. *important note: take your clippers and cut a slit up the branch stem 1” at the bottom. This allows your branch to take up water and last well through your holiday celebrations.
Then, grab a vase, a pitcher, a large glass, mason jar… anything that holds water. Make sure it is clean and fill it with water. Place your stems so they circle the outside of the vase and leave a centre ‘hole’.
Now, the thing that makes this centrepiece truly special is the focus flower you pick- could be a rose, a dahlia, a sunflower, a bundle of mums from your garden - you only need one focal flower. Trim it to length to be as tall or just a little shorter than your branches in the vase. Important tip: always cut your stems on a 45degree angle!
Place the focal flower in the empty central space in your arrangement.
Stand back and admire your handiwork! And have a great thanksgiving! If you don’t have a focal flower in your garden, we have a great selection in store. We are open 10-2 on Saturday!
