Use your creativity and holiday cheer when designing a handmade Christmas centerpiece. Enhance a Christmas dinner or buffet table with a customized piece to infuse it with warmth and festivity. If you are pressed for time, combine premade craft items with hand-decorated and homemade touches to design one-of-a-kind holiday decor. Does this Spark an idea?
Leafy Display
Create a simple Christmas centerpiece using festive colors. Line a shiny gold tray with faux green leaves. Set a red, white or gold pillar candle in the center of the tray to illuminate the dinner table with a soft glow. Surround the candle with shiny or frosted red ball-shaped ornaments. Accent the arrangement with gold plastic berry sprigs. If you are using a large tray and have extra space, coat pine cones with gold spray paint and incorporate them into the display.
Shiny Silver Centerpiece
If you are hosting an elegant winter wonderland-themed holiday party, create an enchanting table centerpiece. Fill a large shiny pedestal-style bowl with strands of silver beads, sparkling silver and frosted white ball ornaments and silver spray-painted pine cones. Wrap four tall white taper candles with a wide silver organza ribbon and nestle them into the center of the display. Present the display on a silver mirrored tray or a iridescent white organza runner. The candle glow will reflect off of the silver decor pieces, creating a stunning fire-and-ice effect.
Bejeweled Ornaments
If you have basic ornaments, a few craft items and glass candlesticks, you have the all the makings for a creative Christmas centerpiece. Personalize green, red, gold and silver glass ball-shaped ornaments with glitter glue; design holiday patterns or write guests' names on the balls. Or, embellish the ornaments using rhinestones, flat-backed beads, faux feathers, ribbons and vibrant gems. Set several tall glass candlesticks in the center of the table and set the decorated ornaments on top for a sophisticated display.
