While this DIY looks really premium, it’s actually quite cheap to achieve! After all, you only need less than a handful of materials for these Christmas centerpieces.

Candy Cane

What’s better than a decoration piece that you can actually feed to your guests?  Who says that Christmas centerpieces can’t be food?

Cranberries & Flowers

If you’d like some flowers in your Christmas centerpieces, then try some fake ones. Because you won’t have to replace them every couple of days, you have one less thing to worry about.

Candy Cane & Flowers

If you’ve already received some flowers from someone (lucky you!) then try wrapping them in candy canes. It makes for a classy piece.

Pinecones

Frosted decor has always been a look I’ve adored during the holidays.

Mason jars are so easy to stumble upon in your own home that you may not even need to buy any. Just fill it up with some gorgeous white and red plants and you’re good to go.

No need to even hit up the dollar store for these pine cones. If you live in certain areas, then they might just be hanging out in your own lawn!

Floating Candles

Floating candles are great for setting a cozy and elegant tone to your home.

Candles & Peppermint

Grab some candy canes from the store and decorate them around some white candles. Super cheap and very effective.

Village on a Plate

Dollar stores are full of cute little village type pieces that you can put together to make a little Christmas village.

Red Apples

Using real plants and fruits helps to give some life to your dinner set, because they look and smell more authentic.

Outdoor Christmas Centerpieces

For outdoor parties, make sure to stock up on some tall glass vases so your candle’s fire remains safe from the elements.

Burlap Candles

Simply wrap up a cheap white dollar store candle with burlap and a bow. It looks so cute!

Lanterns

Lots of people have cute porch lamps already. If this sounds like you, then take them inside and fill them up with ornaments.
