Real Estate Advertorial Easy holiday centrepiece ideas Pre-made centrepieces are undeniably attractive, but adding a homespun touch can be a fun creative pursuit and become a family tradition. Explore these simple ideas to dress up your holiday table. 1. Frosted pine cones: Gather pine cones from the forest floor then give them a touch of winter whimsy with a little faux snow in a can or even white paint. Nestle the boughs and pine cones into a wide-mouthed vase or bowl in the centre of the table. 2. Holiday thanks: Cut many strips of paper roughly 6 inches in length from various coloured pieces of paper to match the holi- day theme. When guests arrive, ask them to write a favourite holiday memory or two, or what they're thankful for. Twirl the paper strips around a pencil to curl them, and then place the curlicues into a decorative bowl in the cen- tre of the table. Later in the evening, the host or hostess can read some of the sentiments. 3. Magical forest: Use green and silver conical party hats to turn a table or sideboard into a veritable evergreen forest. Arrange them on AT THIS SPECIAL a blanket of faux snow or white confetti. 4. Freshly cut: Select attrac- tive flowers in vibrant holi- day hues from a florist or even the supermarket floral section. Cut the stems and place them into an unusual display container, such as holiday themed mugs or punch bowl. 5. Glass baubles: A crystal or glass cake stand can be transformed into an icy delight when topped with silver and clear glass omaments. 6. Birch wood: The crisp white colouring of birch bark is right at home with holiday decor. Go stark with pieces of the cut wood in varying heights intermingled with white candles that mimic the shapes and scale of the wood. 7. Fruit and vegetables: If guests are coming over and the race is on for a fast centrepiece, look no further than the kitchen. Lemons, arti- chokes, pears, or pomegranates look festive in a bowl interspersed with some greenery. 8. Comucopia: The horn of plenty can be cus- tomized to any holiday. Fill a wicker or woven grapevine comucopia with flowers, fruit and greenery, or even painted gourds. (MCC) TIME OF YEAR, WE WOULD LIKE How to Sell an Oakville Home That Did Not Sell?
