To bring in the harvest theme for this Thanksgiving centerpiece, I decided to add our crepe paper artichokes, figs, acorns, and wheat. You will see in the video how I used floral wire to stick some of these crafts into the arrangement. You can make the same craft projects for your centerpiece or browse our crepe paper fruit for more ideas.

If you haven’t created a floral arrangement before, one important thing to consider is the focal point. For this Thanksgiving centerpiece, I decided the focal flower should be our crepe paper dahlias (from our October Member Make). These flowers are so exquisite and such a gorgeous deep burgundy color that they really stand out. I would say that the crepe paper artichokes are also a focal point but a more subtle one.

Next, I have our crepe paper ranunculus as the secondary flower. And as accents or fillers, I have the paper wheat, bunny tails, acorns, figs, olive branches, spider mums, and eucalyptus branches. You will see in the video below how I work these all into the arrangement to create a certain shape and flow for my Thanksgiving centerpiece.
