Easy Holiday Centerpiece

This is a very easy process to make a beautiful centerpiece for your home during the Holidays!

Christmas, Hanukkah and the entire holiday season give me the perfect opportunity to teach my Interior Design clients and Kennesaw State University students how to make their very own table centerpieces.

You can purchase a wreath or recycle an old one that is meant to hang on the door. The wreath will need to be 18 inches wide. Open up the wreath’s little branches to make it look full. Then, you will need to spray the green wreath with artificial spray snow.

You will need to have an angel, Santa or any other Holiday figurine that would normally sit on a table for display. You will need to purchase seven Christmas picks to add to the gaps you may find in the wreath.

Next you can add berries to the wreath as an accent color for the centerpiece and to also reflect the color of the table cloth, if you choose to use one for your table.

A 16 inch plastic deli tray will serve as a base for your centerpiece. Place the prepared wreath on the deli tray to make the centerpiece easy to remove from the table.

If the figurine that you will use is not tall enough to be fully visible when it is placed in the center of the wreath then you will want to use an acrylic stand. Place the acrylic stand in the center of the wreath and then place the figurine on top of the stand. I added a berry to the angel figurine to pull the accent color from the wreath into the angel. This is a very easy process to make a beautiful centerpiece for your home during the Holidays!
