Easy Christmas Centerpiece tutorial

Quick and Easy Christmas Centerpiece

Suddenly here it is!  Doesn’t it seem like we blink and the time truly flies. This quick and easy Christmas centerpiece will get you through the Christmas season and who knows….maybe a bit longer. The Easy Christmas centerpiece is easy to throw together and like my other tutorials….use your imagination. Add things you would like to add. Keep things out that you don’t like.

I like to use things that I have around the house. Dig in that cupboard and find a cute bowl that you never use. Or dust off that old red table runner and rethink what you can do with it.

The winter season can be long. Try looking for the beauty in each day. It might be a bird at your feeder or a yard full of frost. Bundle up and take a walk. The cold air is so refreshing!
