Christmas Centerpieces.

               Every holiday season I am on the look out for a new spin on the Christmas centerpiece.

Here are a few of my favorites this year.  I cannot take credit for any of them, but I do applaud the designers who made them.  A note to any who attempt to construct some of these arrangements.

1.  Cranberries float, so if you want to add them to water, make sure you have a lot of them.

2. A vase inside another vase is the trick to most of these. Make sure there's a space for your candy or fruit.

3.   Place a large rubber band on a cylinder vase and then stick candy canes that have a bit of double sided sticky tape wrapped around their centers, under it. (this works with pencils, twigs, green beans, anything long and skinny)  Tie a ribbon with a bow over the rubber band to hide it.  Hot glue the candy canes to a plastic vase is another option.  This is not an arrangement you want to pick up and walk around with unless those candy canes are stuck on good.

Enjoy, Heidi
