When I first saw these fall centerpieces, like a fairytale ending, I was in love. I had to make one for my Thanksgiving tablescape. Keep scrolling for inspiration and to learn how you can make your own.

DIY succulent and cinderella pumpkin fall decor for Thanksgiving 2019

These charming pumpkin and succulent centerpieces add a touch of whimsy to your fall decor. They are super simple to make. I found an easy-to-follow tutorial video created by Mary Ellen of Moody Blooms. Many of the tutorials that I found online suggest covering the moss completely. However, I love the enchanted look and feel of the moss when it is slightly exposed. I also like to use all natural elements in my arrangement. Or at the very least, biodegradable elements. The look is very natural. Best of all I won’t be contributing to the pollution of plastics in our environment. 

Cinderella pumpkins with green moss and succulent fall centerpiece for thanksgiving tablescape

A rule of thump when creating these arrangements is to have one main succulent surrounded by smaller cuttings in a variety of colors and shapes…and remember to add a few hanging succulents.  

What you will need:

Cinderella Pumpkin
Flat Green Moss
Succulent Cuttings
Spray Mount
Glue Gun with Glue Sticks

Whether you are going for a coastal look or rustic farmhouse, they will fit into your fall decor perfectly.
