When seated at a table, the centerpiece is the first thing that catches your eye. Give a handmade touch to your Christmas home decor by designing the centerpiece yourself. Here is a simple, yet elegant centerpiece that your children can create all by themselves. Add a fun touch to your Christmas table decorations by stacking bowls in different sizes one on top of the other. Place a large serving plate at the base of the bowls to add stability to your centerpiece. It can also be used to place Christmas treats that your kids can just pick and pop into their mouths. Opt for bowls in Christmas colors like red, white, green, gold and silver. Layer the bowls over the plate so that the biggest bowl stays at the bottom and the smallest, at the top. Create a layered look by filling the bowls with an assortment of Christmas ornaments, fir cuttings, nuts and berries. Hand over the assortment of decorations to your children and ask them to fill the spaces between the bowls with decorations of their choice. Kids who want to go DIY all the way can make their own decorations.
The joy of preparing the table for holidays is as fulfilling as a delicious home-cooked meal.
