As we move into autumn, we want to enhance our space with natural elements and festive décor for the season. One way to do this is to create a DIY table runner for your main dining table, a credenza or mantel.
Creek Side Gardens inspired table runner directions.
1) Start with natural elements; moss, fall leaves, twigs and berries. Lay out the moss as the ‘runner’. Pick leaves in yellow, orange and red tones. If you rather, you can use a cloth runner instead of the moss. Let the leaves fall where they may; give it a natural look. Random twigs add texture. Do you have any lingering berries from a shrub? Snip them off as a cluster and lay down with the leaves and twigs.
2) Next add candles. They can be wick burning or LED battery candles. LED tea light candles make a dramatic effect if you tuck under the moss and leaves, illuminating up from the bottom. Taller candles can also be dramatic or a set of tapers. Don’t be afraid to use candles of different heights and colors.
3) Here at Creek Side, we have a good assortment of add-on’s. Resin and fabric pumpkins, pinecone plaid acorns, and more. Stop by to pick up some accents for your DIY runner. Autumn ‘scatter’ potpourri comes in a box and has many different 
elements, while they last.
4) Real mini pumpkins are a perfect add on. Leave natural them as they are or glue on an array of seasonal floral that can be purchased at any craft store.
5) Apples, acorns or large nuts (such as walnuts) or dried oranges would be a surprise to anyone. Who knew! The table runner you are creating becomes a feast in itself.
Your runner is set and will look amazing for a gathering. Your family and friends will be wowed at your creation that is so simple but will surely make a statement.
