Things You'll Need

• Pine wreath
• Pinecones
• Red berries
• Cylindrical glass vase
• Miniature pine tree
• Miniature ornaments
• Pine bough
• Decorative vases

Instructions

1. Place a live pine wreath in the center of your table. Place red berries and pinecones on top of the wreath to add to the visual interest of the decoration. Fill a clear glass cylindrical vase with Christmas ornaments. Choose ornaments that appeal to you; ornaments that are the same size, shape and color, or different sized, shaped and colored ornaments, for example. Set the vase in the center of the wreath.

2. Set a miniature live pine tree in the center of your dining table. Decorate the tree with miniature Christmas ornaments. Use ornaments that tie into a color scheme; red and green, for example, or decorate the tree with multicolored ornaments.

3. Run a live pine bough along the center of the dining table, creating a textured table runner. Lay Christmas ornaments along the top of the bough. Place as many or as few ornaments on top of the bough as you like.

4. Create three or four arrangements of pine boughs in decorative vases. Place the vases in a straight line along the center of the table. Set ornaments on the table around each of the vases.
