  • Edible Table Centerpieces: Decorations You Can Eat

    If you are planning to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, you may be planning to add a centerpiece to your table to help decorate it and make it seem more festive. Before you make or buy a floral arrangement or candle display, consider making an edible table centerpiece that will be both decorative and functional. Here are a few ideas.

    Fruit Bouquet
    With all the fattening foods you will be indulging in over the holidays, some fresh fruit may just hit the spot. You can buy fruit bouquets online or from some grocery stores or specialty stores. You can also make your own by cutting up the fruit, adding it onto wooden skewers and sticking them in a Styrofoam ball dropped into a vase. Kids and adults alike will enjoy these edible centerpieces.

    Chocolate Fountain
    Chocolate fountains make great centerpieces because they are dessert options and double as decorations. A chocolate fountain centerpiece will look great on your dessert table. Simply add a plate of fruit, cookies and other finger foods that can be dipped into the fountain.

    Candy Buffet
    Candy may be the last thing you associate with Thanksgiving, especially after eating all of those treats from Halloween. If you want to keep the kids happy and give the adults something to admire at dinner, use small glasses and vases as well as your favorite candies to create a candy buffet. The candy will be fun to nibble on before and after dinner and the clear vases will make the display look fabulous.

    If you are going to add a centerpiece to your table for the holidays, why not choose one that can be enjoyed more ways than one.

    Holiday Centerpieces: Fun DIY Ideas

    The holidays will be here before you know it and if you like to entertain family members and guests in your home, you might be scrambling to come up with some last minute ideas for holiday centerpieces.

    Sure you could run out to the store and buy a few, but store-bought centerpieces are expensive and can be boring.

    You can make your own holiday centerpieces for a fraction of the cost.

    Thanksgiving Centerpiece
    Everyone gathered around your table for Thanksgiving will appreciate a nice centerpiece, and you can make an adorable one quickly and easily. Find a large pumpkin, real or artificial, and paint it white. Cut a small hole in the top of the pumpkin, where the stem would be, and add a candlestick. Surround the candlestick and the bottom of the pumpkin with fall flowers and leaves and you have a beautiful, homemade Thanksgiving centerpiece.

    Christmas Centerpiece
    Looking for something festive to spruce up your table for Christmas? Try filling a small box or a charger plate with candles and surround those candles with holly, pinecones and bulbs. Light the candles to set the mood for a comfortable and relaxed Christmas dinner.

    New Years Centerpiece
    What better way to bring in the new year than with a table full of food and a beautiful centerpiece. Before you put away your Christmas bulbs, choose a few silver, gold and black bulbs and purchase some beaded necklaces from a store. Place a large candle on a charger plate and add the bulbs and necklaces.

    Don’t shell out a bunch of money for centerpieces. Make your own and show them off at your holiday dinners and parties this year.
