It's common to have a centerpiece on your Thanksgiving table, but unfortunately, centerpieces from florists or specialty shops can be pricey. And if money is tight, you may not want to spend a lot on one. Fortunately, there are many centerpieces you can make that look classy and are relatively inexpensive. Here are a few easy and inexpensive centerpieces you can make to display on Thanksgiving. 

Mini Pumpkins on Candleholders

One of the easiest centerpieces you can make is to place mini pumpkins on flat candleholders or candle pedestals. You can find candleholders in a variety of colors, including cream, silver, and gold. Select a color that you like and then purchase them in varying heights. Then, purchase mini pumpkins. (You can also buy mini pumpkins in different colors, including cream.) Place the candleholders in the center of the table and put the pumpkins on top. If desired, add fake leaves or greenery at the base of the candleholders. 

Clear Cylinder Vases With Fruit

Another easy centerpiece to make is to purchase clear cylinder vases and then fill them with fall fruit. You can select apples, pears, cranberries or oranges. You can also mix and match fruit to create different looks. Alternatively, you can fill a clear cylinder vase with autumn leaves or create a centerpiece with autumn flowers, such as mums. 

A Flint Corn Display

The final easy centerpiece that you can create to display on your table this Thanksgiving is a flint corn display. You can purchase flint corn at most grocery stores, or you can purchase fake flint corn at craft stores. Start by selecting a serving bowl. You can choose a wooden bowl, or one that has some color to it, such as a metallic copper bowl. Place a piece of floral foam in the center of the bowl. Insert wheat stalks into the floral foam, so that the stalks cover the open space in the bowl in a circular shape and slightly protrude out of the bowl. Once that's complete, position three to five stalks of flint corn on the top, covering up your foam and wheat stalks. This will look like the corn is lying on a bed of wheat stalks, which creates a natural and festive centerpiece.
