Have the kids collect a large selection of thin twigs from off the ground outside. Snap them all off at a similar length. Group them around your jar and hold them in place with a rubber band. Be sure to cover your glass jar completely. Tie a beautiful velvet ribbon in Christmas colors around the rubber band. Insert some red and white flowers, whatever is on sale at the store.


4. Bowl of Oranges and Mints

Buy $10 worth of oranges and peppermints at the grocery store and pie them in a bowl. Place in the middle of your table. Yummy and the look is very Christmas.

5. Mixed Nut Candle Holders

To make this centerpiece you will need:

Clear drinking glasses
Tapered candles
Mixed Nuts

Buy a selection of mixed nuts at the grocery store. Now, melt the end of your tapered candle with a lighter or match. Press the warm wax into the bottom of the clear drinking glass to hold in place.

These would also look great lined up on a mantel above the fireplace or on a coffee table.
