I started going through my boxes of Christmas decorations and decided I did not want to put out my tired old candleabras with the greens and red berries as the centerpiece on my table this year. I know that traditionally people use greens and candles but I wanted to find a different look this year. I noticed how many beautiful ornaments I had that never made it to the tree. They just sat in the box year after year so I decided to come up with a centerpiece that would highlight the ornament.
But what should I use? I realized that I had several different size and shapes of glass bowls that had been used for table decorations at various functions that just sat in my china cabinet. They had been filled with flowers to sit on the table and never used again. I tried combining several of the glass pieces to come up a new look. This is a simple and inexpensive centerpiece to make. You may already have the items around your house and never thought to put them together to make a centerpiece for your table at Christmas. If you do not have any bowls or candle holders you can purchase them for a few dollars. It only takes a few minutes to assemble this centerpiece. You can make these unique by using different size and shapes of bowls and ornaments.
