Fall is fleeting, but these arrangements will last for years. Our easy crafts preserve all that gorgeous autumn color using canvas, wax, pencil rubbings, and even coffee filters.

An Artful Harvest

Natural Candelabra

While you're at the pumpkin patch, scoop up an armful of knobby gourds and mini pumpkins to make into candleholders, opposite. When grouped, they become an earthy centerpiece. Play with the gourds to see which ones can be placed on their sides or even upside down for variety. You'll need to cut holes in the flesh to insert the taper candleholders, so have them handy to size your cuts. Bamboo skewers keep stacked pumpkins intact.

Everlasting Leaves

These branches put on a magnificent show with the full spectrum of color in faux foliage, above, crafted from dyed coffee filters. A length of florists wire becomes the vein and stem of each leaf, which makes it easy to wrap and bend around branches for a realistic finish.
