I love decorating for Thanksgiving, perhaps because the colors are so rich and warm, it's not near as fussy as Christmas, and it officially welcomes us into the Holiday season!
This project is similar to my very favorite Fall Hurricane Vases, but with a bit more of a Thanksgiving twist!
Corn is a staple in Thanksgiving decor, so I decided to create a centerpiece for my coffee table that would bring the season straight to our den. In addition, this project is very inexpensive for the look it displays!
Any vase or glass hurricane will work. These I purchased years ago at Kirkland's, but similar ones can be found at Target, Wal-mart, or Michael's.
The corn kernels are inexpensive Great Value Brand and you probably need at least two bags.
See my little "helper" in the background?
These candles I use over and over for different seasonal displays in these hurricane vases.
The artificial leaves are re-purposed from an old wreath I disassembled to use on my fall mantel. Simple jute secures the leaves to the candles.
While I arranged these vases inside my Willow House Jamestown Tray for a coffee table display, they would be great on a fall mantel, a dining table, or in your kitchen!
As always, I love seeing your projects you've created after seeing something here! Be sure to send me a picture if you make a Thanksgiving display!

Your centerpiece is lovely! Your vases are so versatile for different occasions and seasons! Love the corn kernels!
What a beautiful idea! The leaves were a great touch.
How pretty!
They look great - I love it with the popcorn!
Love it! I especially love that you can then change out the popcorn for something new and keep your decorations fresh and seasonable! That is just my kind of thing! What are you going to put in there for Christmas?
Beautiful! So simple, natural, and pretty! I would be thrilled if you'd share these at my holiday party!

Visiting from Seasonal Sunday. Your hurricane vases are lovely! I've never thought of using bagged corn. It's a great idea!
Love the look and the practicality of reusing the hurricanes for different occasions. Great Fall look with the corn and leaves.
Those look gorgeous! I love the way you are showing how to reuse/repurpose your pieces and have them still look so fresh. :-) Thank you so much for sharing them with us at Inspiration Friday this week!
