Making a Fabulous Christmas Centerpiece



This is very simple. Everything is never new and with prices today it forces you to be creative. This great red vase was bought from a salvation army for only $2.00. Which is the first step, find a vase anywhere that you fall in love with. I recommend resale shops or even antique malls. Next is gathering broken tree branches from outside. The best thing to do is to wash them off first and lay them on some newspaper to dry. Once they are dry depending on the color scheme you go with pick up some spray paint. I recommend Hobby Lobby and make sure to bring your 40% off coupon on one single item. Since I was going for more of a Christmas theme I got white spray paint. I have about 6 tall thin branches. Paint all of them white. If you wish I had some glitter and chose to cover 2 branches with silver glitter to give it a POP. I also felt the piece was missing something and I bought from Hobby Lobby the branches with glitter covered berries. Only about $1.15 each, and I bought two of them as well. Now I have a fantastic centerpiece for my Christmas table!
