A colorful, inexpensive way to celebrate the season

Think gorgeous bouquets die with Labor Day? Think again! Creative Home shows readers how to create a "Golden Glow" with the bounty of Fall. This project is perfect as a Thanksgiving Day centerpiece. Start with a bamboo vase, fill it with gravel or another weight to balance out the top-heavy display. Cut mums with short stems; insert into a circle of dampened floral foam. Fit a small pumpkin in the center of the blooms, top with another ring of mums, and crown with a smaller pumpkin. This darling display gets plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" -- especially from kids! -- and brightens any room.
