Centerpieces!

I was asked to teach a mini class on inexpensive holiday centerpieces. I wanted to come up with centerpieces and place settings with stuff I already had. I also wanted to create 4 totally different looks and color schemes. Here's what I came up with...(YES, I gave them each their own name :))

"SwEeT ChRiStMaS"

Green satin cloth tied in a knot, palce setting is a silver charger, red sparkle charger, valentine plate (target), green bowl (dollar tree), green napkin, tall goblet. Center piece were 3 apothecary jars. One with soft peppermints, one with cinnamon bears, and the other with cranberries and limes. lids topped with ribbon I tied to elastic.

"Family Traditions"

White cloth with brown topper on a diagonal. Place setting is gold charger (target), white dishes with gold trim (dollar tree), ornaments with ribbon for place cards, and white napkin in goblet. Centerpiece is a large gold glass plate with bell jar filled with gold/brown ornaments.

"A Rustic Holiday"

Tablecloth was a piece of burlap, place setting was wood platter as charger (DI), cranberry plate (Walmart), cream plate, pinecome for place card, and napkin was just a cut piece of fabric. Centerpiece is a wooden pedestal bown (DI) filled with apples, red pears, pinecones, and cranberries with tall sticks coming out center.

"COOL YULE"

White table cloth, silver charger, blue plate (dollar tree), gift for place card, and white napkin in goblet. Centerpiece was a silver 3-tiered tray (TJ Maxx) filled with gifts (really anything out of my pantry that was the right size) and silver ornaments atop a silver framed mirror.

FUN FUN!
