Create a Whimsical Holiday Centerpiece in Minutes!
Quick. I like to be able to do a project quickly. That doesn’t always pan out well, if I’m honest. I feel like my brain is always on fire – like there are so many ideas and I can’t possibly take all the time for all the ideas (anyone else out there relate?). This one, however, was one project that was “simple assembly only” (after selecting my miniatures, which is really the fun part of it all anyway).
How to Create a Whimsical Holiday Centerpiece Step by Step
Let’s start with the basics. You’re going to need a clear glass container/jar large enough to fit your scene. I used a two gallon sized container but there are no rules, here. A collection of different sized jars or mini jars would work just as well, depending on your vision.
I’m a sucker for vintage holiday classics like White Christmas and Holiday Inn. For this jar, I wanted to create a wooded wintry scene deserving of a Hallmark special and a little side serving of Bing Crosby. I found a set of three pine trees with a tiny bit of flock – just right for that walk-in-the-wood mood.
To create that vintage holiday scene in my mind, I picked up a sweet Christmas village piece depicting a group of kids rolling a huge snowball (with the help of their loyal pup, of course – see, totally Hallmark material). I couldn’t pass up this little coffee cart, either – its added glow throws off just the right amount of magic.
What’s a holiday scene without snow, am I right? This fluffy faux snow makes the scene. I added some snow before setting the miniatures in the jar and also added more at the end. To create even more of that magical holiday glow I love, I added a small string of battery operated string lights. I decided to work the string down under the snow to create a steady glow from the snow.
