The holidays can be such a busy time for everyone, especially if you’re hosting – I love how simple this centerpiece DIY is, and how instantly it will add a pop of color and freshness to your table.
Items You Need:
- Small vases (I picked up mine from the Dollar store)
- Bags of frozen cranberries (you can use non-frozen ones as well, I just find the frozen ones last longer)
- Cedar/boxwood boughs
- Burlap Ribbon
- Jute Rope
- Scissors
- Decorative stems (optional, I used cream holly’s for some of the centerpieces)
Steps:
- Fill up your vase with your frozen cranberries and add cold water
- Cut your boughs down to size
- Fill the vase with the boughs and enjoy!
- You can also wrap the vase with burlap ribbon and tie it into place using a decorative ribbon or jute string
- Add any leftover boughs to your presents (weaving it in-between your ribbon) or your table setting (placing some in a grouping with your flatware)
- Its all about the little touches that make everything a bit more special 😉
