18 Super Easy-to-Make Christmas Centerpieces To Add More Festive Look To Your Home

Here are some beautiful and easy to make christmas table centerpieces. When the cold winds blow outside and the snowflakes start to fall, we settle indoors and turn our minds towards the holiday season.

We fill our homes and our hearts with things that bring us joy and makes us cheerful.

1. Shimmering Greens Candle Centerpiece

5. Rustic Candleholder Cake Stand

Vintage Centerpiece Idea

A vintage cake stand becomes a delightful centerpiece when filled with elements from the outdoors. Evergreen sprigs coupled with pine cones dance around a pair of pillar candles just waiting for a chance to shine. Nearby a pair of small gift boxes, tell us Christmas is on the way!

This double-decker Christmas centerpiece idea starts with cute gingerbread cutouts. Carefully arrange the homemade cookies with cut greens and Christmas ornaments.

For an extra Christmas atmosphere, add a bunch of pinecones throughout the display and carefully arrange them along the double-decker.

Besides, when it comes to creating Christmas centerpieces, there is always space for some faux snow.

7. Sparkling Jingle Bell Display

Here is a five-minute and easy way to make stunning DIY Christmas centerpieces for the dinner table every year.

Bring a festive jingle to your tabletop with a big bowl of silver and gold bells. I added a couple of coordinating ornaments for a change in scale. Also, choose a bowl that won’t steal the spark from the bells.

Tip: Make sure you won’t overdo it.

8. Mini Trees Ceramicware Display Stand

Pull creamer and sugar sets and demitasse cups out from the recesses of your cabinets and put them on display as a simple centerpiece.

Gather the pieces on top of a traditional all-white cake stand, place bottle brush trees inside the cups and add a few sprigs of evergreen.

Just a thought – to finish this cute country-chic look, display your Christmas party centerpieces on a vintage linen runner or tea towel.

9. Vibrant Classic Red And Green

Elegance needn’t come in a frilly, finicky package. This graceful centerpiece comes together with the most basic of elements.

Pile glass ornaments in a pyramid arrangement on top of a compote, sticking the ornaments to one another with scrapbooking glue dots.

As you might have noticed, lots of Christmas centerpieces ideas focus on red accents as this color feels like Christmas. Add some green napkins to re-create the timeless festive combination of red and green.

10. Evergreen And Crystal Table Runner

Go the whole nine yards with a Christmas centerpiece that extends the length of the table.

The key part here is to stay away from playing with heights and keep it low and narrow, instead. In this way, there will be enough space to place and pass dishes. Moreover, the guests would be able to see across the dinner table.

My advice for this kind of homemade Christmas centerpieces is to not overdo it. Use some evergreen branches as a base and then arrange with a bunch of large festive balls and candlesticks of your choice.

11. Holiday Poinsettias And Gold Accents

Poinsettias are a Christmas favorite, but pairing them with another element, like topiaries atop large candlesticks, takes the garden theme to the next level.

What is most important for this type of elegant natural Christmas centerpieces is to match the candlesticks and the vases where the poinsettias are placed.

Also, I recommend using lighter shades of poinsettias to not distract from the brilliant dinner table.

12. Twinkling Glass And Mixed Metallics

Looking for some cheap Christmas centerpieces? Done.

Mow a few tiny branches and place them on cake stands of your choice.

Then top the greenery with some faux mercury-glass globe ornaments…and voila – you just made a dynamic visual arrangement for less than 10 minutes!  😉

13. Whimsical DIY Paper Cone Trees

The tree-shaped Christmas centerpieces cut from festive patterned paper set a seasonal tone that is ideal for more formal and casual Christmas table centerpieces.

All you need to do is to wrap cone-shaped stencils with festive wrapping paper. If you want to add some volume, you can cut some small pieces of paper and glue them to the cone-shaped molds.

Tip: Play with the color and the height of the cones to make the centerpiece more joyful and fun.

14. Blue Christmas Peacock Feather Candle Ring

Play it bold this Christmas and create a peacock-theme table centerpiece instead of using the classic green and red colors.

Try to find a peacock feather candle ring (a faux Christmas wreath would work, too) and match it with a large glass hurricane for a stunning centerpiece.

Insert in a few silver berries picks as a final touch. Silver pairs perfectly with the cool blue so this will surely be the show-stopper at your dining table. You can even spray some rose gold glitter on the glass for maximum effect.

15. Antique Taper Holder Pinecone Tray

I am happy to share with you one of my favorite Christmas candles centerpieces!

Instead of topping silver candlesticks with candles, try placing a silver pinecone on top.

All you need to do is to fill a round cookie tray with the candlesticks in a wide variety of heights and finish with a bunch of glass ornaments. Pure beauty!  😉

16. Sequined Cone Tree Cloches

Imagine all that glamour on your festive table!  😎

Build this eye-catching centerpiece by covering purchased sequin trees with clear glass cloches. If you want to play with heights, you can place the faux trees on a simple cake stand.

All your friends and family will surely envy you!  😈

17. Stunning Mixed Paper Gift Box Centerpiece

The last idea in my collection is for those of you who prefer the unusual Christmas centerpieces.

First, make a mountain of monochromatic boxes in different patterns upon a simple footed cake plate.

Then, crown the tower of boxes with a bow and a length of ribbon trailing down each side. In the end, don’t forget to tie up the ends of the ribbon tails to the underside of the cake plate.

Decorating the festive dinner table would help you build an even stronger festive spirit at your home! Make these joyful days of the year with the beloved ones even more special!

I truly hope you found my list of affordable Christmas centerpieces helpful. Let me know what you think about it or share another cool idea with me! 😉
