Making Your Own Christmas Table Decorations
It is easy to make your own table decorations if you don't like the ones at the store of if your budget is tight.
Candle holders are the easier to make. All you need is some garland or a small wreath a clear candle holder and a "Christmas candle." In the middle of your table put down the garland and wrap it in a weaved or overlapping circle leaving enough room for the candle holder. If you use the wreath set the candle holder in the middle. You can then pick up pine cones and small ornaments at discount stores for three dollars or less and decorate the gaps.
You can also make your own using your own wine glasses or smaller 8 oz glasses. All you need is a round cork board no bigger than 6 or 7 inches across in diameter. Using craft paints, paint in holiday pictures like cookies, ornaments, reindeer, snow and so on and so forth on the outside of the glass. But when you paint, hold the glass upside down by the step. When the paint has dried tie, red and green bows around the step and place white or colorful tea candles on the base of the cup.
Christmas table decorations can range from something small to something large and extravagant. It mainly depends on your taste and what coincides with your other decor. Table decorations can really make the room or catch the eye if done right. Not to mention it just helps give off the holiday cheer and spirit.
