Step 1: Don't compare yourself -- it's probably not gonna look quite as fabulous as PB. That's why they pay their stylists the big bucks. This is why I usually decide to go for something simple.
Step 2: Pull out your $6.99 TJ Maxx hurricane.
Step 3: Grab a pyrex bowl. Or something else small and solid.
Step 4: Put pyrex into hurricane... upside down, for a little height.
Step 5: Place pillar candle on top of inverted pyrex and add various greenish stuff -- moss of any sort, grassy stuff, sticks. You know, think natural. I'm a fan of natural.
Step 6: Scatter a few faux acorns, and voila.
Of course, you could fancy if up even further and wrap leaves and jute around it.
There you have it. Not too hard -- I'm a (try to) keep it simple kind of girl.

APPLAUSE!!
This looks wonderful. Well done!
I like it! Looks great!
Cute and clever and easy...plus it didn't cost a bundle! Very nice!
I love the look of your centerpiece! Thanks for the idea.
Looks great!
My Pottery Barn rippoff centerpiece is a tall clear vase (you know you have a castoff from someone's wedding) 3/4-filled with candy corn. Then get a handful of straight-ish branches, spray paint them black and stick them in the vase.
I keep the candy corns in a tightly-sealed bag with the rest of my Halloween decorations so I don't have to buy them new every year. Plus watching people try to eat increasingly-old candy year after year gets more and more entertaining.
