Welcome back to the 12 days of Christmas series! Today, I will be sharing how to gift a beautiful Christmas centerpiece! It happens to be my sister-in-laws birthday in December, so I will be gifting her this for her birthday. But it can work just as a Christmas party hostess gift as well!
What You Need
- a compote bowl or something to arrange the centerpiece in
- floral foam to stick everything into
- toothpicks to stick on items without stems into the floral foam
- live greenery (I cut off some branches from the bottom of the tree!)
- fruits- lemons, oranges, cranberries, etc
- other natural elements like dried oranges or even walnuts would look really pretty
- flowers- if using
- candle(s)
Just Use What You Have on Hand
I love challenging myself to use what I have on hand to make arrangements! A sweet lady from church brings live centerpieces for in front of the pulpit every week and I love seeing what she comes up with! She simply uses what she has in her yard, garden, or even neighbors place! So, I got inspired by her to just use what I had at home for this centerpiece. I wanted to buy some beautiful red roses and other Christmasy items to add into the arrangement but simply didn’t have the time. I think it still turned out beautiful and my sister-in-law loved it!
