My creation is not a knock-off really, but inspired by Pottery Barn AND Williams-Sonoma. I like to look through the PB catalog to get ideas, but I will never pay their prices! I wanted a Fall centerpiece and found these ones I really liked from PB:
Inspiration 1:
I really liked the left one it costs about $60 at Pottery Barn. (I like the right too, but haven't tried it yet)
Inspiration 2:
$68 at Williams-Sonoma for ONE.
UPDATE:
I found some real-looking leaves for 99 cents at A.C. Moore!! I liked them better, so I replaced the weird smelling, $ Tree leaves. Check it out:
Inspiration 2:
$68 at Williams-Sonoma for ONE.
This means, if I bought my centerpiece from Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma, it would've cost me around $186!!!!! How much it cost for me to make mine: $15!!! And the fact that I can gaze on it and enjoy the fact that I made it is priceless! (I tried to avoid this cliche, but could find no other way to describe that creative emotion!)
So, I looked at my inspirations, added my own little creativity and came out with this:
And I love it!!!
Here's How I did It:
For the smaller holders, I bought two candlesticks, two hurricane lamps, and two glass votive holders all at The Dollar Tree. I hot-glued the hurricane lamps to the candlesticks and let dry. The votive holders just set perfectly in the top! I filled the hurricane top with an Autumn mix of miniature pine cones and pumpkins I bought HALF PRICE at Hobby Lobby. I already had the candles (pumpkin spice-mmmm!), so these cost me about $4 each to make.
For the larger holder, I used a larger candle holder and hurricane I bought at Hobby Lobby on sale. I hot glued those together and let it dry. For the bottom layer, I used a miniature wreath I bought at Hobby Lobby for less than $1. I cut it in half and took it apart in twos. I broke up one half to give the layers a base and then I placed the second half in a circle on top. For the second layer, I used the rest of the Autumn mix. I then set a jar candle (vanilla scented) on top. Finally, I placed the fake leaves around the jar candle.
And they smell HEAVENLY!
Ta Da!

Very nice. I have some hurricanes that look like the WS ones (without the monograms) that I have stones and candles in. I think you've inspired me to swap out the stones for acorns. That would be so cute. Do you think the craft store would sell packaged acorns?

What a great project! I do something similar every year, but I have cranberries instead of the pinecones.
