You can buy holiday table decorations but it is very cheap and simple to make your own centerpieces using Christmas decoration and a candle. You can also use all kinds of Christmas decoration to make things like napkin holders and special cocktail markers for holiday drinks.
The dinner table centerpiece is the easiest of holiday table decorations. You can reuse an old door wreathe and simply put a bright red, white or green scented candle in the middle of it. You can also buy an armature (such as a circular grapevine) at a store that sells Christmas decoration crafts and wrap it in real or fake evergreen boughs or ivy. You can then wrap the boughs with ribbon or decorate it with glass balls.
Glass balls that you no longer want to use on the tree as Christmas decoration can be hung from a dining table chandelier. You can hang glass balls from the rims of cocktail glasses that are wrapped with holiday ribbons. Don’t forget that you can also use strings of light as part of your holiday table decorations. One idea is to frame the table with strands of mini lights or a rope light. Use your imagination and you will find many novel ways to make your holiday table look like it was laid out by a professional interior designer!
Believe it or not you can also make small centerpieces out of palm trees. Palm trees are holy because they decorated the desert in which Jesus was born. Perhaps the simplest of decorations for smaller palm tree s are strands of white or multi colored lights entwined around the trunk of the palm. Bright white, red, gold or green lights are the colors that say merry xmas although pink, yellow and lime green also looks excellent on tropical plants. As ornaments have hooks that can harm a palm tree you are best to affix glass balls or crystals to wired bowed and tie the decorations onto the delicate fronds of the palm tree.
If you are looking forward to a tropical merry xmas you can also find specialty strings of lights called palm tree decorations. These are the kinds of lights you find in a Tiki cocktail bar complete with glowing plastic pink flamingos, palm trees and other tropical themes. These look good on a palm tree but you can also use them on a regular xmas tree (such as an artificial white one) to give your holiday décor an unusual flair. It’s not very traditional but it is interesting.
