Fall Wheat Centerpiece

  Here is an idea for a terrific yet easy-to-make fall and/or Thanksgiving centerpiece.  First off though, I must give credit to Jillian at Evolve, Living & Giving (local home decor store that I love!) for the inspiration which I shamelessly copied!

If you live on a wheat farm, this will be super inexpensive for you but if not, hopefully, you'll be able to find some bundles of wheat sheaves like the ones I got at Evolve, Living & Giving for $4 each.

You will also need some type of clear vase.  I preferred to use one of my cylinder vases.

 I used grains of wheat as filler for the vase (Thanks, Jillian for giving me some of yours!) but you could also use brown rice, beans, popcorn kernels, etc.

You can separate each wheat sheaf or make larger groupings depending on the look you want. Simply poke them down into the filler you've chosen.

I added a black lantern (Walmart, this summer) to the grouping...

...as well as my rustic wooden-look pumpkin(HomeSense, last month)

Love how it turned out!  But I think I need to make more of them as I'm constantly moving the wheat centerpiece to different areas around my home.  Its wonderfully versatile...

...working just as well on an end table as the top of my sideboard.

 

A similar look could also be created using oats or barley and/or different types of vases.

Thanks for stopping by!
