Cue the roosters and roll in the tractors—it’s time to rise and shine with this unforgettable farm-themed centerpiece.
With sunflowers in bloom, roosters on parade, and a glittering sunrise crowning the scene, this tablescape sets the tone for lively conversation and heartfelt hospitality.
Perfect for a farmhouse brunch, harvest dinner, backyard barbecue, summer birthday, or any country-style celebration, this cheerful centerpiece brings warmth, whimsy, and homespun appeal.
A radiant glittered sunburst focal point that you won’t find in typical farmhouse decor adds unexpected vertical drama and symbolic warmth.
Stacked birch wood discs elevate a vintage red pickup complete with a hay-filled bed and a rooster hitching a ride to add height, dimension, and visual storytelling.
Mini cowboy boots bursting with country blooms anchor the table with rustic charm and playful flair, adding bold personality without breaking the scene’s cohesive rhythm.
A white wooden fence-style planter filled with an explosion of sunflowers, wild blooms, and greenery feels like a whole garden nestled in the center of the table.

Lay the Foundation
- Start with a white tablecloth to anchor your design.
- Layer a burlap runner across a spring green fabric tablecover, white polka dots optional.
- Fabric is a great option for table covers to get exactly the color & pattern you need.
- And if your fabric is not wide enough for the table, cut lengthwise and cover the open center with a table runner.
Paint the Rays
Creating the striking sunburst centerpiece is simple and fun, here's how...
- Start with 100 wooden picks (3-3/8" long) to create the sun's rays.
- Insert into a cardboard box and space out to allow for full coverage when painting.
- Coat the picks with red spray paint on all sides & let dry.
Make the Glittered Sun
- Insert a wooden pick into a 3-inch diameter craft-foam ball.
- Apply Modge Podge evenly over the surface with a foam brush
- Roll the coated ball in neon orange glitter until it’s fully covered.
- Reposition wood pick as needed for even coverage.
- Insert the glitter-covered ball into a cardboard box to dry.
- When dry, randomly insert the painted picks into the foam ball to create a balanced, sunburst effect.
- Adjust placement for even spacing and a visually dynamic look.
Build the Truck Platform
- Drill a 1/8" hole near the edge of one wood disc for the sun's steel rod support, ensuring the hole is straight.
- If you need to drill a new hole for better placement, no worries—it won’t be noticeable.
- Stack four birch discs (two layers, side by side) slightly right of center on your burlap runner.
- Insert and glue the steel rod into the hole.
- Position the red vintage truck on top and use Velcro to hold in place.
- Fill the truck bed with straw or hay.
- Add the completed glitter sunburst to the top of the steel rod behind the truck.

Set the Scene

- Scatter straw lightly down the length of the burlap runner.
- Add a vintage green tractor near the sunflower arrangement.
- Position one rooster figurine inside the pickup truck bed.

Guest Experience
- For each place setting, fold gold cloth napkins into a bow tie shape.
