71 DIY Fall Centerpieces That Are Perfect for All of Your Autumn Dinner Parties
Dress your table for the season with our very best ideas.
Dana Gallagher
You've hung the prettiest fall wreaths on the front door and added fall porch decorating ideas for maximum curb appeal. Now that the outside of your house is all "falled up" (yes, that's a thing!), it's time to move inside and get the rest of your house dolled up for the season.
With fall's cooler temps, you and your family are likely spending more time indoors, especially around your dining table for weeknight suppers, holiday dinners, and a heated game night or two from time to time. One easy way to instantly elevate your dining room is with a DIY fall centerpiece. As expected in the fall, pumpkins of every size, shape, and color make an appearance here. But you'll be surprised by the other creative ideas you'll discover that include gourds, dried corn, colorful flowers, dried leaves, and snips from your own yard.
Whether you're looking for an elegant, statement-making fall arrangement for your Thanksgiving spread or something on the casual side for everyday decor, you are sure to find something here to suit your style, budget, and patience level (so many simple 5-minute ideas here!). We particularly love the centerpieces that use collectibles as vessels. And if you're feeling crafty, try making candle holders from apples or hollowing out a pumpkin instead of using a vase. Whatever look you are going for, these budget-friendly fall table decor ideas are the way to get there. Let's get crafting!

Fiery Flowers Centerpiece
Go for bold red and yellow blooms instead of the usual muted fall tones. In a vintage pudding tin or other favorite vessel, add flowers first, then mix in fall leaves, berries, magnolia leaves. Pro tip: Start with more stiff/branchy pieces to make a strong base, then move to softer, delicate materials. Finish it off with a ribbon tied with dried gourds.

Fabric Pumpkin Centerpiece
Craft your own personal pumpkin patch using old quilts and fabric scraps. To make, start with a round piece of fabric and a ball of batting (about the size you want your finished pumpkin to be). Gather the fabric up around the batting and hot glue it together in the center. Collect dried stems, or purchase faux stems, and attach with hot glue for a realistic touch. Line the middle of a long farmhouse table with a runner, then pile on your creations and other seasonal greenery. These would be an adorable accent to a mantel or buffet as well.

Mini Pumpkin and Nut Topiaries Centerpiece
Gather a grouping of these tabletop topiaries down the middle of the table or on a buffet.
To make the nut topiaries, lightly spray styrofoam craft balls with brown paint. Once dry, hot glue nuts to styrofoam balls in an orderly pattern, as shown. For the walnut topiary, start with a middle equator row and add rows up and down from there. Add hazelnuts to fill any gaps. For the raw almond topiary, start at the top and work your way down, gluing horizontal rows around the perimeter and overlapping slightly for full coverage. Leave space at bottom to rest on top of candlestick bases. Attach with hot glue, as needed. To make the pumpkin and squash topiaries,

Feathery Stems Centerpiece
Why of course, you need a centerpiece when dining outdoors! This homeowner's flower arrangement mentality is to steer clear of anything too perfect and instead opt for movement: "For me, the beauty is in the natural form, not manicured perfection," she says. Here, the feathery stems of pampas grass in autumnal hues will last forever and can be moved inside and out as needed.

Fruits are as lush as any flower, as seen here in this trio of vibrant pomegranate displays. Pro tip: Cut each branch to a height that allows its heavy fruits to rest on the rim of your vase.
