It’s time to give your home a well-deserved holiday makeover. Impress your guests with this oh-so easy Christmas centerpiece and create the ideal holiday tablescape.

We love holiday DIY projects and since we had such a fantastic response to our holiday centerpiece kids can make, we decided to share another pretty DIY centerpiece with you.

Easy Christmas Centerpiece - White poinsettia in a DIY plant pot made with red and white extra-large popsicle sticks.


 

Okay, it’s officially November and for me, that means the holidays are in full-swing!

Hey, everyone! Lisa here, reporting for DIY duty from Fabulous Habits! Our dining area is a space that’s very well-used in our home. I often find myself hosting numerous dinner parties each month and I expect no less for the holiday season.

Ideally, I’d present guests with a gorgeous tablescape, complete with an impressive amount of food, a gorgeous table runner, and this super-easy Christmas centerpiece I recently put together.

Here’s how to make your own! (Psst: I bought everything from our local dollar store.)

Holiday DIY: Easy Christmas Centerpiece

Supplies You’ll Need

Supplies for the DIY Christmas centerpiece

  • One metal bucket
  • Extra-large popsicle sticks
  • Red acrylic paint
  • White acrylic paint
  • 2 foam paint brushes
  • Hot glue gun
  • Red ribbon (long enough to tie a bow around your bucket)

Roll Up Your Sleeves and Paint!

Painting craft sticks red.

Do a measurement of your bucket and see how many popsicle sticks are required to cover it. Ours required 12 – paint half of them red and the other half, white. Apply 2 coats, waiting 1 hour between each coat.

Glue ‘Em On

Once the painted sticks are dry, use a hot glue gun to secure each one onto your bucket. Alternate each color.

Finishing Touches

Wrap your ribbon around the centerpiece and tie a bow. Add your favorite faux Christmas flowers.

I was totally inspired by candy canes for this centerpiece. This DIY is also do-able with kids, especially the painting portion!
