Happy Holidays

.
From my home to yours.


Need a last minute centerpiece or decor idea? You're in luck.

These packages are in my entry way and I think you know the drill. Just wrap some empty boxes and use on your table or in any area that needs a little extra touch before your company arrives. I like to take down photos and hang some on the walls, too. Easy peasy.

You may recognize the centerpiece as a take-off on my white New Year's Eve centerpiece from this past year seen below. I loved the big pile o' ornaments so much I did it this Christmas with leftover ornaments and such.


Run out and grab a sheet of styrofoam and some floral pins. You can find ornaments on sale right now, too, if you need a few more. I won't lie, this takes a lot of ornaments if your styrofoam is as large as mine. Feel free to cut to size though!

Once you have your styrofoam, just place your focal point first whether it's florals or candles or cylinder vases full of more ornaments or full of peppermints...you get the idea. Place those first and then literally just start pinning and placing ornaments in your foam until you fill in all the holes.

I'm not bragging here but I think they turn out stunning for being so simple. I know yours will, too! They are foolproof I tell ya!

(Hey, Jen - tell your mom to make this centerpiece. Does this count for a post on table ideas for her? te he)

I'll be out for Christmas. Happy Holidays to everyone and safe travels to those not celebrating at home!

Cheers,
Amy

P.S. I tried to post this earlier this morning and Blogger was acting a fool. So, yeah, I realize running out right now might be a leetle harder.

I love this centerpiece! But, I'm super confused. How did you get the ornaments to stick into the foam with floral wire?
