I have an antique Dutch wooden flour sifter that I got in Holland some years ago. I’ve displayed many things in it, but decided to use it in making a fall arrangement for the sunroom.
I used three things for this fall arrangement : 3 – $1 Dollar Tree Fall picks, 3 pods and 3 clumps of dried green material. I had all these on hand.
First, I bent and filled the sifter with the maroon leaf picks. Then, I added the pods. Finally. the three bunches of dried greens got tucked in for a bit of contrast. (Always use 3 or 5 of something – odd numbers work best) This fall arrangement came together in about five minutes!
I really like the accent of the pods which pick up the wood tones from the sifter.
Here’s a close up view of the dried material in the sifter…..
Final results are this…..
I love how quickly this fall arrangement came together. It looks great in the sunroom on my small coffee table!
What unusual items have you used for arrangements?
I hope this post inspires you to look at antiques or simple items in your home as new possibilities to use for arrangements.
Enjoy!
