This is a clever way to create fall foliage indoors with fabric. The edges of the leaves were cut with a zigzag scissors with coordinated stitches and machine-sewn to the faux branches. It does not matter what the pattern on the fabric is as long there is a hint of Autumn in the colors, like orange spice, red and teal, browns and gold. Put this simple arrangement anywhere in the house to announce the change of the seasons.

This centerpiece used clear cylindrical vases filled with small pumpkins and scented votive candles to lights up the room with a warm golden glow. Adding a mirrored base to set the centerpiece adds a dramatic effect. The scent of orange spice or cinnamon will thrill the senses and set the mood for the holidays.

What can be more impressive than a table centerpiece put together with materials found in your own home. Take the example of a red enamel turkey roasting pan filled with a few sprays of pepper berry branches, Granny Smith, Lady and McIntosh varieties gracing the center of the table. Or a copper colander or pot, antique cheese grater, mint julep cups, glass domes used with items with the hues of Autumn of reds, bronze and yellow. Of course, do not leave out the iconic orange pumpkins which will find a place in one of the arrangements.
