Use a large sponge paintbrush and black acrylic paint to paint inside of the taped off section.  Once the paint is dry, remove the tape.  Repeat this process for the other side of the centerpiece.

To finish the centerpiece, use a pencil to lightly write a fall word across both sides of the centerpiece.  We chose the word ‘thankful’ but any fall word would look great!  Trace the penciled word with a White Fine Point Chalk Marker
