"Some people can't resist going above and beyond when decorating a tablescape - especially for extravagant dinner parties. If you've always had family or friends over for the holidays, it's understandable that you may want to outdo yourself this year. However, the next-best centerpiece isn't going to be bought from your regular decorating spots: It's actually hiding in your grocery's produce section."
""Picked up a few gourds at the farmers market, drilled a hole in the top, and popped in some beeswax tapers," Emma Jo Wassink wrote in a recent Instagram caption. "Five minutes later... instant fall centerpiece. Simple, cozy & budget friendly. Turns out last-minute can still look intentional." Wassink shared her display of her gorgeous roundup of fall-colored gourds with followers on Instagram. Instead of just placing them in the center of the table, the content creator took it a step further."
"You'll first want to pick up a few gourds or mini pumpkins at your local farmers market or grocery store. It's best to look for gourds with a flat bottom or side if you're planning on using them for candles. But if you fall in love with one that's round and rolls around, try cutting a flat spot into one of its sides to keep it stable."
Use small gourds or mini pumpkins from a farmers market or grocery store as candleholders by hollowing a hole to fit taper candles. Choose gourds with a flat bottom or cut a flat spot into a round gourd for stability. Create the hole with a drill, a sharp paring knife, or an apple corer, taking care to protect your fingers. Arrange the gourd candleholders on a cutting board, book, or layered textiles and add accents like doilies, twinkle lights, or brass elements for a warm, budget-friendly fall tablescape.
