Fall Dough Bowl with Natural Elements

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Fall Dough Bowl with Natural ElementsWith fall finally officially here, I am having fun playing with my grandmother's dough bowl to create a seasonal centerpiece for my dining room table.  And with my emphasis on calm, soothing colors this year, I decided to try filling it with natural elements in shades of creamy whites and green.

 
CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Fall Dough Bowl with Natural ElementsI used three basic layers to create this year's look.
  1. Start with a bed of greens such as kale. Yep...kale straight from the grocery store! I love the darker shade of green and all the ruffly texture that it adds! 
  2. Layer in white pumpkins and gourds in several shades of green. I am loving all the lumps and bumps on this pale green gourd! 
  3. Top it all off by sprinkling in a handful of pretty acorns. It sounds like a recipe for a salad, doesn't it? ;-)

Here's last year's fall dough bowl, created using a little different twist on my three-step process. You can get all the details HERE. And stay tuned because I have more ideas for fall!

  1. I just bought a doughbowl at Hobby Lobby. I am using your instructions to fill it. TY for the blueprint. Fall in S. FL is a little different since we are running AC.

  2. Thank you Debbie for all your great for suggestions and easy step-by-step directions. Really like the idea of putting the dried beans in the bottom of the dough bowl. Enjoy seeing your kitties as I have three of my own.
