Forgive the dark and moody photos, but I've been dark and moody lately. I have no idea where October went. I swear we just started school a heartbeat ago but alas, it's time to move on and prepare for the next holiday. It's always kind of a weird transition for me from Halloween to Thanksgiving, but it wasn't that difficult this year. I had a fairly neutral decorating palate this year probably because I really dig white pumpkins. I always have. I wanted to help transition from pumpkins for Halloween to pumpkins for Thanksgiving and I think I came up with a way.
I created some pumpkin leaves, some with sayings, some without, and printed and cut them on my Silhouette machine. I'm sharing the cut file with you so that you can create some too. Come check it out!
White Pumpkin Thanksgiving Centerpiece
I gathered up all my white pumpkins and some of my candles. Does anyone else have kids that can't keep their fingers out of melted wax? All of the tops of my candles looks like horrible! But I digress. I also have a love of deer antlers apparently and gathered those up as well. I slid in some dried hydrangeas and went to work setting up a lovely centerpiece that took me minutes to throw it together.
I printed and cut these pumpkin leaves and then attached them with double stick tape. I also used paper stem wire to create some tendrils. I simply went old school and rolled them around a pen and then slipped them on the pumpkin stems.
I love the simplicity and muted colors of this centerpiece and hope it inspires you to take your pumpkins from Halloween to Thanksgiving with a little piece of paper! Get your pumpkin leaf template for your Silhouette Cameo here. Remember, it's for personal use only.

Love this! I am a big white pumpkin fan too!
Rachel I love this! I’m always looking for ways to use natural elements too. We’re the antlers real or purchased decor items?
The antlers are real, though I have seen some good looking faux antlers out there now!
