I'm here to tell you that having an amazing holiday centerpiece doesn't have to be expensive. With just a few festive supplies, a variety of glass vases, and some fresh cranberries you too can have a simple, festive DIY holiday centerpiece.
This festive centerpiece is simple to make and easily comes together in no time. Fresh cranberries and a decorative grapevine wreath on a holiday tray make up this perfect holiday centerpiece. This festive project is perfect for anyone on a tight budget, and can be used year after year.
I used a variety of glass vases in different heights, filled each one with fresh cranberries, and white votive candles (floating candles can also be used). I added a bud vase and filled it with a few mini shatterproof ornaments (red, white and silver) and stacked them inside the vase. I think this centerpiece turned out so pretty and the total cost came in under $24 to make.
Poke the individual stem pieces of the floral holly berry and pine cones, into the grapevine wreath and continue around the whole wreath. Add more or less floral to your liking. Place the 3 glass vases into the middle of the wreath (using various vases in different heights is best).
Fill the two larger vases with fresh cranberries, and add one glass votive holder into each of the two larger vases (placing it on top of the cranberries but also snug inside). Add a votive candle to each votive candle holder. Add and stack about 8-10 small shatterproof ornaments into the bud vase.
