Christmas is just around the corner, and like every year we find ourselves having to choose decorations. This year, surprise your guests with a homemade and especially eco-friendly Christmas centerpiece.
Shopping list:
- Slice of wood with the bark on the edges
- Three white candles of different heights
- Pine cones
- Cinnamon sticks
- Jute fabric
- Twine
- LED lights (optional)
Tools:
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Double-sided adhesive
- Gather materials: To create this centerpiece, you will need a slice of wood with bark on the edges, three white candles of different heights, pine cones and cinnamon. You can find these materials at a craft store or home decorating store.
- Place the candles: Wrap the candles with burlap cloth and tie with twine. Add cinnamon sticks tied with twine around the candles. Place the three white candles on the wooden slice and attach them to the base with a small piece of double-sided tape. Make sure they are different heights to create a more interesting look.
- Add pinecones: Add pinecones around the candles. You can place them randomly or arrange them more precisely. Secure them with a few dots of hot glue.Be sure to leave enough space between the pinecones to make the candles stand out.
- Add more decorative elements: If you want, you can add other decorative elements to your centerpiece. For example, you can add red berries or dried leaves to create a more autumnal look, or a row of decorative battery-powered lights.
