Simple Botanical Pumpkin

Floral prints are more than welcome on a Thanksgiving table—especially if they’re painted onto a pumpkin in a lovely autumnal hue.
Make the pumpkin:

1. Cut out and tape a large leaf stencil to a white pumpkin using painter’s tape.
2. Using a foam pouncer, lightly dab orange paint onto the pumpkin to fill in the stencil. Let dry, then remove the stencil and repeat in several other spots.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with other floral and leaf stencils, working from bigger stencils to smaller ones.

Pine Cone Centerpiece

Those all-white pine cones would look beautiful in a small bowl all on their own, or surrounded by the gourds and succulents you see here. They’re beautiful enough to work either way.
