Oh I am so glad Fall is here!! It is by far my favorite season and by far the most fun to decorate for. I have been itching to start busting out the pumpkins and this weekend that is just what I did. My mother-in-law mentioned that the Marketstreet had their baby ghost pumpkins on sale...3 for $2... say no more! I made a stop at Homegoods before picking them up because I knew I wanted to make a centerpiece and needed some shantys to get the job done. I found these three copper colored candlesticks on the clearance aisle for $3 a piece... SCORE! While I didn't hate their color I decided to spray paint them with Rustoleum American Accents Canyon Black paint. I really can't express enough how GREAT this line of paint is.... SO much better than any others I have tried. You can find it at Hobby Lobby and at Joann's.
While those were drying I took a frame apart and covered the cardboard with burlap. I just used my hot glue gun to pull the sides first and then the top and bottom.
Once that was done I stuck it back in the frame...
And then I flipped it right-side up... HOW Cute!! I almost like it just like this and you can put anything on it:)
Now for the fun part.... I got my new black candlesticks and put them on top of the tray. I then put all my baby ghost pumpkins on the bottom... don't they make you smile?? Finally I put 3 gourds on each candlestick and I was done... What do you think?? I will be sharing my frugal fall centerpiece over at Thrifty Finds at Southern Hospitality and at Met Mondays over at Between Naps on the Porch... Check it out!

I love it! All of it!
Too, too cute! I love the burlap, what a great idea!
Very simple and creative, sometimes less is better! Thanks for sharing a great fall idea with us!
That is a great idea! And I love the light neutrals instead of orange for fall...orange and only orange can be a bit much and is really too much for most places.
Darling little centerpiece! Love it. :)
I LOVE IT! Those candle sticks are so cute, but so much cuter in black! It all turned out beautifully!
How cute is that! Very nice!!!
I love it!!! I need to find me some ghost pumpkins.
That is so pretty! I wish I could do somethng like that, my cats would totally destroy it.
I heart your little white pumpkins...the burlap frame/tray is a keeper!
Blessings,
Linda

Hello Whitney - I love visiting your blog. I haven't been following long, but what I have seen is so inspirational! Thank you for sharing this fabulous idea of transforming a frame into a tray. Love all the sweet lil' pumpkins! And the black candle stick holders are fabulous.
Blessings,

Hi Whitney, It is just so amazing how something so simple could make such a statement! I loved the change you made to this tray and the candlesticks. Those little white pumpkins just tickle me. I almost painted my candlesticks black, but once I saw the oiled bronze finish- I was hooked. Thanks for coming by and leaving such nice comments. :-) Sue
Super Cute ideas!!
How great and inexpensive is that!!! I need to check out the rest of your blog, just in case you have other ideas that I might could use. Thanks for the look and the instructions. Hugs,
Cindy S.
So simple and beautiful! I love it.
