With the materials you need available at dollar stores, one centerpiece will run you about $5, or a little less if you already have some of the materials on hand. Each successive centerpiece will cost only $2.50.
You will need:
* Scissors
* Scotch tape
* String - $1 (jute or sisal would be pretty, I just used a thin string I already had on hand.)
* Brown paper - $1 (Again, I was lazy. I just cut up a brown paper bag for this.)
* Deer Christmas tree ornament - $1 for a set of two
* A tall candle - $1 (I used a basic alter style candle)
* Small glass vase or dish, check the craft/floral section - $1
* Cedar sprigs, about 6 to 8 sprigs about 6" to 8" long (Not sure where to find them? I took a walk through the woods.)
First, cut a length of paper to wrap around the vase and secure it with a bit of tape. I made it a little taller than the vase so that it wouldn't show when finished.
Add a string bow to dress it up a little.
Add your candle and cedar sprigs. *The cedar will usually curve a little, if you have all the ends curve in the same direction it will make the finished piece a little more symmetrical.
Nestle your little deer into the cedar to complete it, and you're done!
Replicate as needed.
Cedar and candles are a classic, so the theme has spilled over to other areas now.... Bonus points- it smells wonderful in here now! Enjoy your winter wonderland!
