Centerpieces add a festive touch to holiday tables, but they don't have to be ornate or expensive to make an impact. One of the most popular components of a table centerpiece is candles. Many Christmas table centerpieces can be made combining candles with common household items or store-bought Christmas decorations. Does this Spark an idea?
Beads and Bulbs
Place a blue pillar candle in the center of a large silver bowl. Fill the bowl with strings of blue beads, allowing the beads to dangle over the edges. Lay shiny silver tree bulbs of various sizes on top of the beads. When the candle is lit, the flame will be reflected in the shiny decorations.
Greenery and Berries
Line a rectangular serving tray with fresh greenery. Center ivory-colored pillar candles on top of the greenery, spacing them evenly along the length of the serving tray. Scatter store-bought sprigs of red berries on the greenery and light candles just before guests arrive.
Carnation Wreaths
Remove the stems from some carnations and use hot glue to affix the flowers to a florist's wreath, covering the entire wreath. Stick pearl-headed pins into the centers of some of the carnations. Place a pillar candle in the center of the wreath and light. For this centerpiece, try using red carnations with a white pillar candle, red-tipped white carnations with a white candle or white carnations with a white candle.
