If you want a super cute Christmas centerpiece but don’t want to spend a lot of money, check this out. Recently I was in charge of a large Christmas dinner where we had to feed 350 people. I had 36 tables to decorate with only $40 dollars to spend on decor. Crazy right? For the center piece I came up with a super simple, yet classy idea of a mason jar, cranberries, fresh pine, water and a cute burlap tie. Then on the tables I gathered cute pine cones from outside (free!), left over pine branches and spread them down the table. We had the tables covered in white paper, then ran a green paper down the middle for the table runner. That’s it! Super simple and we stayed under our $40 budget. It looked really nice too. If you want a cute Christmas centerpiece on a budget, then be sure to try this out.
Christmas Cranberry Jar Centerpiece
Items you will need:
Mason Jar or Glass Vase (use ones you have on hand or borrow from a neighbor if you need a lot)
Fresh Cranberries- about a 1/2 cup- 3/4 cup per jar (found at your local grocery store in the produce area)
Water
Burlap twine
Fresh Pine tree branches (go to a local tree farm and ask for the leftover branches-FREE!)
Directions:
Wrap the burlap twine around the top of the vase or mason jar
Add the fresh pine branches to the bottom and add in your cranberries
Fill the mason jar or vase with water so the cranberries get to the bottom of the ring
That’s it! You can make a ton of these for super cheap.
