Quick do-it-yourself centerpieces for the holidays

From the DIY holiday gifts and decorations series
  • Dec 6, 2016
  • Dec 6, 2016 Updated Nov 22, 2017

Take three different sizes of wine glasses and fill them with Christmas balls of different colors. Or use one color — it's your centerpiece, you're the boss. Place a cardboard over each glass and turn it over. Set the glass upside down on a mirror tray and pull out the cardboard leaving the balls inside. Do the same with the other two glasses. Place candles on the feet of the glasses. We used battery-operated candles and added red napkin rings around them.
