Rustic Autumn Glass Canister Centrepiece
We are in the midst of autumn, a season synonymous with changing colours and pumpkin-spice flavoured treats. Although summer is my favourite season, fall is admittedly beautiful in its own way with vibrantly coloured leaves changing the landscape.
If you’re planning on holding a dinner party this autumn then this Rustic Autumn Glass Canister Centrepiece is the perfect way to embrace the changing seasons and celebrate the natural beauty of fall.
These simple glass canisters from wayfair are perfect for storing dry pastas or beans in the kitchen, however they inspired me to create these seasonal centrepieces that are pretty enough for any dinner party – from Thanksgiving to even a fall wedding reception. I already have some ideas to transform this project for a winter look!
I love the fairy lights in this centrepiece, they look a bit like fireflies or fairies trapped in the canisters. This is also a much safer alternative to candles when it comes to lighting up your dinner table.
Rustic Autumn Glass Canister Centrepiece
Materials:
Wayfair Basics 4 Piece Glass Canister Set
Natural Stone Aerosol Spray in Limestone
3 x 10 ft (3 m) Battery Operated Mini LED string lights
1 x 108.5 cu in package Reindeer Moss (in Chartreuse)
2 x Autumn Floral Picks
Natural Vase Filler in brown and gold tones
Acorns
Directions:
Carefully spray paint the Canister lids with the aerosol spray according to package directions until the lids are evenly painted. Allow to dry completely.
Arrange the reindeer moss and one of the string lights in the second smallest glass canister, ensuring the battery pack will sit on the top. If you can try to hide the actual wire among the moss.
Remove the flowers and leaves from the floral picks and arrange them along with the string lights in the next largest glass canister. Again do your best to hide the wiring.
Arrange the vase filler, acorns and string lights in the smaller glass canister. I found it looked great when I looped some of the fairy lights within the round twig balls that came with the floral filler.
When ready to display, turn on the fairy lights and screw the lids on the canisters.
Wow these are beautiful! Really adds a touch of magic.
Fun idea and you can easily switch it up for the different holidays!
i love these. they are very creative and get for the holidays;
These are so pretty!! I love how simple it is to make!
I like the centerpieces you shared here I like that they are in closed containers because if someone bumps them on the table, they will still be in good condition.
This is such a cute and simple idea. I have been looking for how to decorate for the holidays and this is perfect.
I’m going to have to try making these for my next dinner party. They are so beautiful with the lights.
These centrepieces are really pretty. I never thought about using mini lights. It’s great that they can be changed out throughout the different seasons.
Great ideas. I wish I was this creative.
These might be good nightlights for a kids room too! You could fill it with pretty well anything and weave the lights through.
I love the look of this. It is going to look fantastic on my table. Thanks for the great idea.
Wow. You took something so simple and elevated it into something so pretty. What a lovely idea.
This idea is so awesome! These glass canisters for centerpiece really look gorgeous! I love it!
Such a lovely idea. I must be honest – I thought the moss was broccoli at first. heh
I’m sure they are absolutely beautiful with the house lights dimmed.
I’m always stuck on what to prepare for centrepieces and this looks like something I can easily put together. Love the little lights you put inside of them!
I love how you blended traditional with modern here. That’s a touch you don’t often see in decor these days.
What great centre pieces these make, I love the tiny lights and the way you displayed them!
What marvellous centre pieces these make, I love the tiny lights in them. 🙂
These do have a rustic charm, but a modern feel with the jar you used. I love them, and would consider making them with some mason jars.
I really like this i use those jars in my pantry,would love to try this !
This is a unique way to decorate for Fall, I will have to make up a set for our home.
the possibilities are endless 🙂
