5 Simple Christmas Centerpieces for $20 or Less

Looking for affordable Christmas centerpieces you can make yourself. Here are five simple projects that make beautiful Christmas centerpieces! All of the materials are super cheap and should allow you to make a nice large Christmas centerpiece. These are all great for a long dinner table that needs quite a bit of decoration in the middle to fill it up.

1. You can make a beautiful and simple affordable centerpiece put pf some simple:Large Leaves, Pine Cones, Candles and a Platter. Simply look outside in your yard for some large evergreen or colorful leaves. Lay them out in a border on you large platter. Place you candles in the middle of the platter and surround them with some pinecones from the yard.

2. For a more formal and colorful affordable Christmas centerpiece you will need: Glass Jars, Candles. Whole Cranberries, and some Ribbon (Optional). Place your pillar candles in the glass jars. Pour in some whole red cranberries around ht candles. You can add more detail with some Christmas ribbon. I like to make this centerpiece with some leftover drinking glasses that are big enough to hold some pillar candles. This is a great way to use glasses that may spend most of their life on the shelf in the kitchen cabinet.

3. Do you have some beautiful Christmas dinnerware or even some fancy china for the holidays? For this simple centerpiece you will need: Christmas dinner plates, candles, and evergreen garland. Well, try busting out one of those extra plates and placing some pillar candles in the middle of it. You can make it more formal by placing a simple ring of garland around the plate as well. This is a great way to carry on a uniform look on your Christmas table if you are already using a special china pattern.
