Simple DIY Holiday Cranberry Centerpiece

A creative DIY holiday centerpiece made from fresh cranberries, a variety of glass vases, and mini shatterproof ornaments.  

Today I have an easy DIY Holiday Cranberry Centerpiece to share with y’all. I love decorating my dining room table for the holidays especially for Christmas dinner. I love the option of a centerpiece on my table, but honestly I really can’t afford any of the ones they have at the stores.  

Having an amazing holiday centerpiece doesn’t always have to be expensive. With just a few festive supplies, a variety of glass vases, and some fresh cranberries you too can have a simple, festive DIY holiday centerpiece. 

To start gather all your supplies together (see below for a full listing). Place the grapevine wreath on top of the round Christmas tray. This will be the base of the centerpiece. Using wire cutters, snap the smaller stems off the floral holly berry and floral cranberries.

Poke the individual stem pieces of the floral holly berry and pine cones, into the grapevine wreath and continue around the whole wreath. Add more or less floral to your liking. Place the 3 glass vases into the middle of the wreath (using various vases in different heights is best). 

Fill the two larger vases with fresh cranberries, and add one glass votive holder into each of the two larger vases (placing it on top of the cranberries but also snug inside). Add a votive candle to each votive candle holder. Add and stack about 8-10 small shatterproof ornaments into the bud vase. 

Place the cranberry centerpiece on the middle of your table or coffee table on a burlap runner, light, and enjoy! Everything needed to make this festive holiday centerpiece can be purchased at your local Walmart.
