Paper Plate Fall Pumpkin Arrangement
Here is a cute project with items you probably have in your home. This can be perfect for a farmhouse table centerpiece, for Thanksgiving or for Halloween. It's also a great project to do with the kids.
Take a look at what I did!
What you’ll need:
paper plates
flowers
glue gun and sticks
empty bottle (Powerade)
orange paint
scissors
pumpkin stem (Mercari)
We will start with the paper plates and a bottle. I used whatever I had around the house which was an empty Powerade bottle. We will add flowers to this later but for now we need 8 paper plates.
Glue two paper plates together.
Add hot glue to the edge all the way around and glue the plate on top. Make 4 sets.
Here are the sets of paper plates glued together. I made 4 but you can use more if you’d like.
Fold them in half to give a 3D look. Now, start to glue them to the bottle.
Add more around to cover the bottle.
All the way around like this.
On the last one you can glue the edges to make it fit.
Like this.
Now if it’s not full add another one. I used more plates and folded them and glued to where I needed more.
You also could add a single in between if you wanted. I like them doubled as it made it look fuller but either way works.
Then I took it outside and sprayed it orange. I used orange because it's what I had at home but you could use any Fall color you like.
Next I added a pumpkin stem and filled it with flowers to make a fall arrangement.
Here it is from a few different angles. How cute is it?
Just a fun, easy and inexpensive Fall table decor.
How gorgeous are these!

Very cute! I have a quick question. When you are gluing two plates together -- are you gluing them back to back or face to face? I definitely am going to make some of these.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Do you add anything to the bottle for extra weight? it looks cool but I would want to add a bit of weight to it to prevent it from being knocked over or worse off a table or counter.
Were the examples your inspiration? They have all the plate edges glued together.
We did this for VBS and created cactus and painted fun colors. Used tissue paper to create flower on top. Some painted first. Some second. Either way turned out great. Used donated paint, house, wall, tempura, and even chalk. Fantastic results. Only limit is imagination. We used 9 paper plates btw. Thanks for sharing.
