An autumn party gives you the chance to decorate with all the glorious elements of the season, and there's nothing that says fall like apples. If you're entertaining, don't spend a fistful of dollars on an expensive centerpiece. Take a trip to the orchard or the produce section of your grocery store, and you'll find an abundance of apples for the picking. An apple bouquet is quick and easy.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Apples
  • Vase
  • Small stones
  • Water
  • Branches of fall leaves
  • Bamboo skewers
Step1
Buy several firm apples for your bouquet. You can use all red ones, or you can mix varieties.
Step2
Select a vase. You need a tall one that has a classic urn style with an opening that flares. Although a clear vase works perfectly fine, your bouquet will be extra special if you choose a glazed copper or bronze-toned container. A dark green vase is another good option.
Step3
Fill about three inches of the bottom of the vase with small stones, marbles or even pea gravel. Florists' foam will work, also.
Step4
Add water. The level should come within a few inches of the top of the vase.
Step5
Cut small branches of fall leaves from your yard, and nestle them into the base.
Step6
Skewer the apples, and arrange them among the branches.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you're all thumbs when it comes to even a simple craft, just buy a sack load of apples, and arrange them in a large bowl. Add a few fall leaves and berries, and you have a beautiful autumn centerpiece.
