People like to decorate their homes with autumn crops, berries and fruits in this time of the year: collected shiny chestnuts in a basket, a bowl full of apples on the dining table or a bunch of berried branches in a vase. However, the treasures of nature can be used in a more creative way, since they make an exciting mood with their beautiful colors.
Let’s paint the acorns with golden or silver paint that the caps should remain in their original color. Put them in a porcelain bowl, so glimmering accessories are gained for the classic mood.
Take off the caps of acorns and glue them on a simple, standing picture frame. In the case of a bigger frame, this can be done with half nutshells also. If they are painted in off-white or beige and then carefully rubbed, their natural brown color can show through and a nice antique effect can be reached. This fits perfectly for the vintage mood.
Let’s make a glittering festive table centerpiece made of apples and pears, instead of a simple fruit bowl. Polish the fruits with a soft cloth. Purchase edible gold foil and apply on the surface of the fruits with a soft brush. It will stick on it unsought. It doesn’t matter if it is not completely covered, moreover, it is more exciting and antique if the gilding is only applied in larger spots. If they are not for eating, let’s glue rhinestones on the surfaces of the fruits for reaching an opulent effect.
Pick a bigger amount of berries in different colors (rosehip, rowans, buckthorn etc.). They shouldn’t have stems or leaf. Pour these in layers in a well-shaped, taller glass pot. Even a tea candle can be put on the top of it or some flower can be pushed among them. It will be a perfect table centerpiece.
