1. Orange-and-white centerpiece
White pumpkins encircled by bittersweet vine and set along an orange table runner create a striking table arrangement.
2. Tissue paper pumpkins
Don’t let these pumpkins fool you; the designs may look painted, but the patterns are actually created with tissue paper. Download our free patterns below for instructions and templates.
3. Gold-leaf pumpkin
This white-and-gold arrangement dresses up a porch or mantel. Coat real or crafts-store leaves with gold spray paint, then glue them to small white pumpkins (look for varieties such as 'Lumina' or Cotton Candy at your local farmers market or pumpkin patch). Paint small orange gourds gold to match the color scheme.
4. Rake door decoration
An old rake head becomes a clever door decoration when you add bittersweet, tips of juniper or any other fall foliage you may have in your yard. (Purchased bittersweet, leaves and flowers work great, too.) Tuck stems of vines, leaves or flowers into the hollow end of the rake head and secure with tightly wrapped jute.
5. Wire basket outdoor display
Wire baskets hold pumpkins and faux leaves for an easy fall front door display. Pots of mums complete the inviting look. (To prolong the life of your mums, be sure to water when dry and remove any dead blooms.)
