DIY Christmas centerpieces: many easy ideas to prepare at home

The simplest centerpieces to make are those with natural elements that nature offers us such as evergreen sprigs, sprigs of fir, pine, sticks, pine cones, holly berries, walnuts.
Centerpieces that also contain objects that awaken the senses of smell and taste are also beautiful since they are often edible or contain spices or other scented objects, such as tangerines, dried fruit, dried citrus fruits, berries, cinnamon, star anise, cranberries.

If you are good at manual chores and still have no way of recovering natural elements, you can always draw on your creativity to create alternative do-it-yourself Christmas centerpieces using objects found at home, such as candles, chopping boards, mismatched glasses, fruit, Christmas balls, angels, polystyrene crowns, glass jars, wooden boxes, also to be used as containers.

Ideas for making DIY Christmas centerpieces

To give you some suggestions and whet your imagination, I’ve gathered a few ideas for making effective but rather simple DIY Christmas centerpieces. You can also make them all with the help of your children.

Simple centerpiece with sprigs and candles

Here’s a super simple Christmas centerpiece that all of you can make. All you need to do is place a few fir sprigs on a runner (preferably red or in Christmas colors) and arrange many beautiful candles in an orderly manner, a few colored balls and some pine cones.

Centerpiece with a wooden box

Look how beautiful this centerpiece is! If you have a wooden box, a glass jar and a candle at home,  you can have fun filling it with twigs and berries found in your garden or taking a walk. A satin bow will complete the look.

Centerpiece with pine cones

Simple but effective here is another centerpiece that you can easily make. All you need is a nice tray where you can place twigs and pine cones suitably painted white and with snowflakes.

Country centerpiece

Do you like country style? Here’s a lovely idea to create a nice Christmas centerpiece. All you need is a wooden or stone tablet on which to fix twigs, candles, pine cones, star anise, biscuits, cinnamon, dried oranges (even fake).

Centerpiece with glasses

If you want to make a more original and different centerpiece from the classic centerpieces with pine cones and twigs, look at this idea! It’s very easy to make, all you need are three goblet glasses, a few colored balls and three candles in tone with the balls. Arrange everything on a flat plate or a nice tray and the Christmas centerpiece is served!

Centerpiece with floating candles

Another creative and low-cost idea to make a beautiful Christmas centerpiece is the one with floating candles . All you need is one or more round glass bowls (an old fish bowl works well too), some white floating candles, fresh pine or fir sprigs and some red berries. It only takes five minutes to put them together.

Centerpiece with fruit stands

Do you know the fruit backsplashes ? There are aluminum, wooden, porcelain, glass and even one, two or three floors. Use them and fill them with whatever you want: jars, balls, branches, moss, candles, dried fruit and various decorations. You will see what a beautiful Christmas centerpiece it will be!
