Creating gorgeous {faux} floral centerpieces is my favorite thing to do, and a well-arranged focal point can complete a room in any season or holiday! Learn to arrange a centerpiece with a wooden box, mason jars, faux lamb's ear, eucalyptus and some mini pumpkins. It's easy to swap out for a fresh new look!
I love the wooden box I built this past spring and have used it on my dining room table or the mantel ever since. The plan is to keep it out in my decor for … well, forever.
I built the box from some rustic barn wood I had in my scrap pile, using my trusty Kreg Jig. It's a simple project that can be made from a basic board from the hardware store. So before you go any further, stop right now and make yourself a simple wooden box for your centerpiece. (Full tutorial here.) Just make sure it's wide enough to fit a regular-sized mason jar.
I was changing the arrangement in my wooden box for fall, so I decided to snap a few photos of the process.
The mason jars are the key to making everything look good spilling over the sides of the box. They keep everything in place.
What You'll Need for Your Floral Centerpiece
- Faux lamb's ear
- Faux eucalyptus
- Faux mini pumpkins or other seasonal foliage (similar)
- Or really any floral stems that float your boat!
- Wooden Box
- Mason jars
How to Create a Pretty Floral Centerpiece in a Wooden Box
This is super simple. I grab my mason jars and set them in the box. Mine holds 7 jars, but that depends on the length of the box.
Next I lay the lamb's ear and eucalyptus around the outside of the mason jars. Just fluff the stems so they look full and lovely. It's starting to look pretty!
Once the sides look good, add your mini pumpkins or floral stems in the mason jars. Depending on what you're using, you may need to add more stems inside the jars so they look right.
Arrange and rearrange until it's perfect!
These mini pumpkins came with enough foliage on them that I just stuck one in each mason jar and called it a day.
See? Easy peasy! But so cute, and it makes such a statement on the mantel or the table!
For another arrangement using a different type of container, see my fall dough bowl centerpiece tutorial.
