Make a Christmas Centerpiece

Learning how to make a Christmas centerpiece isn't as hard as it seems. It's really a matter of having the right supplies. As a florist, I could turn out expensive centerpieces in a matter of minutes. If you're lucky enough to have some evergreens in your yard, you can snip and tuck these into your piece. If not, just order an assortment of holly, pine, flat ceder and fir from your local florist. The shop I worked at sold it by the pound.

Christmas greens like in the arrangement below are easy to design with, since they fill in very quickly because of their density. Although the greens are different, check out my page on designing a simple centerpiece. The basics are the same, except you'll be using Christmas greens instead.

Oasis foam comes in a brick that is premarked for easy cutting. Soak in water that has been treated with a fresh flower food for flowers that will last throughout your holiday season.



You can easily add taper or pillar candles to your design by using plastic candle stakes. These will hold your candles firmly in place and prevent tipping.

Then have fun! Add a few fresh carnations (they last the longest) or roses for a luxurious dinner party. Tuck in small ornaments, dust with glitter or add a gorgeous holiday bow!
