Pumpkin + Balloon Centerpiece for Fall Entertaining

Are you guys going to revolt against me if I say I’m not that into Thanksgiving?…I enjoy it more now that I no longer work in retail, but I only enjoy a small percentage of classic Thanksgiving foods, so I’m that girl at the dinner table stuffing my face with potatoes and bread (no shame though). Don’t worry, I still have a couple Thanksgiving ideas to share this year, and I’m kicking off the holiday season with a quick entertaining DIY! I’m loving making balloon garlands lately, so I made a miniature one into a pumpkin and balloon centerpiece that’s perfect for fall entertaining, Thanksgiving or your average dinner party! It’s quick and easy to make in less than 15 minutes, and with some fresh eucalyptus, it is sure to impress your guests.

Clearly, you can see my apartment and, consequently, my dining room table are quite small. The balloon centerpiece does take up a good chunk of my tiny table, but that’s OK because I’m of the belief that more balloons are always a good thing. Placed on a bed of fresh eucalyptus leaves and surrounded with miniature pumpkins, this fall balloon centerpiece made me want to have a dinner party…but we would only be able to fit two more people, ha! The dining room is still one of my favorite spots in the apartment because it’s home to a gallery wall and bar cart that I restyle practically weekly. It becomes the hub for anything and everything in the apartment, which means these photos were the cleanest it’s been since the last photo shoot!

How to Make a Balloon Centerpiece 

Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

  • 4-inch balloons, 4-5 colors
  • Balloon pump
  • Low temp glue gun
  • Mini pumpkins
  • Eucalyptus leaves

Step 1: Blow up two balloons until round in shape (still small) and tie together. Repeat in sets of two with color variations until you have 8-10 sets depending on the size of your table. Consider blowing up some balloons less than others for variation.

Step 2: Twist two sets together to make bunches of four and repeat.

Step 3: Position the bunches of balloons together the way you want them, and use the glue gun to add a small amount of glue to adhere balloons together into a small garland. Fill in gaps with single balloons as needed. 

Step 4: To decorate your table, place the finished balloon centerpiece in the middle and slip branches of eucalyptus underneath so it’s sticking out strategically. Add mini pumpkins all around the centerpiece for an added fall touch!

I promise it’s very easy! If you have a rectangular table, this balloon centerpiece should leave you and your guests plenty of space around the table. As for my round table, it was a tight squeeze, but if you stick to a buffet style dinner, it works out fine. I think I’ll leave it up just for myself and Andrew to enjoy!

There’s at least one more Thanksgiving idea coming up, but don’t be too surprised when I jump into Christmas well before December, ha!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
