The holiday season is a time for gathering with your loved ones over a delicious spread of food (what could be better?). But if you’re hosting this year, you may feel anxious about getting your home into tip-top shape. This simple and beautiful Christmas centerpiece DIY will wow your guests and elevate your table to the next level! This is also a fun group activity! This would be a great option if you are hosting a Holiday party and want a fun DIY craft for everyone to make and take home.
Here’s a written explanation of how to make it, along with an easy-to-follow video tutorial.
Making a Christmas Centerpiece
What You’ll Need:
- Greenery: A mixture of several different kinds is ideal, but it’s okay if you only have pine. You can source these at your local supermarket.
- Wire or string
- Christmas baubles of different sizes in the color of your choice: We like this multi-size pack or this one.
- Pine cones: You can forage for these in the forest or purchase them here.
- Ribbon matching the color of the baubles (optional): You can find this at a local craft store, or purchase it online here.
- Candle holders with tapers and/or tea lights: We love these candles, this candle holder, and these tea lights.
Instructions:
- Create a bundle of greenery and tie it together using wire or a piece of string.
- Repeat as needed, depending on the length of your table and the desired length of the centerpiece.
- Once all of your bundles are ready, join them together to form a garland in the center of your table.
- Place candle holders along the garland.
- Group baubles together along the garland. You can attach them with wire or string, or simply set them in place. Get creative with differently-sized pairings! I love a mix of texture as well. You can mix matte with sparkle for a beautiful pairing.
- For a finishing touch, create bows out of ribbon and place them along the garland.
- Voilà! You’ve created your own Christmas centerpiece!

However, as event planners, we know that doing it all yourself isn’t always feasible. If you’re planning a big celebration, we would love to take care of all your Christmas decoration needs! Inquire for information and scheduling.
