Do you also love autumn? Then bring autumn into your home with an autumn piece for the table. Making an autumn piece is a simple and fun activity. Material can be found in your own garden, the forest or at a florist.

To step

1. Gather material. The forest is a great place to find autumn material. Chestnuts, moss, pine cones, fruits and nuts are common materials in autumn pieces. Loose branches and pieces of bark can also be easily used. In addition to material from your garden or the forest, plastic materials such as small mushrooms are a nice addition to the decoration piece. Let your creativity run wild!
2. Let the material dry. Let the found autumn material dry well before use. Leave the materials outside or put them between a few sheets of kitchen paper. After this, shake off the material well to prevent animals in your autumn piece.
3. Think about what kind of surface you want to use. Different types of surface can be used for an autumn piece. Decorative branches or logs, for example, are a nice base for the autumn arrangement.
4. Attach the materials to the substrate. Have the materials dried? Then it is time to decorate the substrate (in this case a decoration branch). Pine cones, fruits, chestnuts, etc. can easily be glued to the decoration branch with a glue gun. In addition, you can also choose to use floral foam. Material is easy to pierce here. Do you want to hang something on the branches? Then use blind wire.
5. Think about the location of the autumn patch. The last step is to find a nice spot for your autumn decoration. For example, use the autumn piece as a table decoration or place it in front of the window. Avoid hot spots due to dehydration.
