It’s time for the holidays! Time to decorate! Here are some ideas for centerpieces.
Spread some red and white cheer.Take carnations and put on top of a rectangular glass vase covered with candy canes. Attach candy canes to the vase with a hot-glue gun; anchor flowers in floral foam. If you like, spray canes with coats of clear acrylic spray to avoid stickiness. Finish with ribbon and attach mint in center of ribbon.
For easy elegance a few Christmas elements add up to one dashing display! Place a large ball ornament, a single rose or roses and a few evergreen sprigs on a dinner plate. Cover the arrangement with a cloche. To keep the rose or roses fresh, put the stem in a florist’s water tube.
A tall, clear cylindrical vase supports amaryllis blooms in just a few inches of water. Put cranberries in the bottom and wrap a bright red ribbon at the waterline. A sprig of greenery continues the holiday theme.
Create your own customized flower composition by covering coffee cans with wrapping paper and embellishing them with ribbon. Fill with inexpensive white carnations or your favorite white flower with baby’s breath, plus evergreens cut from your yard.
Enliven basic glass vases with Christmas-color scrap booking papers. Simply cut tulips and dahlias, then cut papers to fit around the vases and secure with double-sided tape. Tie red string (with silver bells attached) around the vases and insert your winter bouquets.
