How to Make a Centerpiece

Incorporate natural elements

A slice of wood with the bark still intact can make a beautiful yet simple base for a table centerpiece.

Use unusual focal features

Add items to capture attention. Instead of opting for flowers or faux plants, try dried wheat or other decorative grasses.

Use old jars to display flowers

Rescue old jars and other glass items. Soak them to remove the labels and tie lace ribbons around the rim for a country-style vase.

Upcycle old papers

Create a unique planter table decoration with vintage papers, such as old musical scores. Separate the pages and wrap them around tins.

Illuminate the dining table

Arrange candles in the middle of the table for light. Use eight candles of different lengths with the tallest candles placed in the center.
