Things You'll Need:
- Boxes
- Plate for the base
- Wrapping paper
- Ribbon
- Glue gun
- Glue sticks
-
Step 1
Gather the materials for the centerpiece. Determine how big you want the centerpiece to be, and choose an appropriately-sized plate for the base. Find small boxes to decorate. Use boxes you already have, buy them at a craft store or use foam or wooden blocks. Get enough wrapping paper to wrap every box. Use all one color, a pattern or multiple colors for an eye-catching centerpiece.
-
Step 2
Wrap all of the boxes neatly with wrapping paper. Add ribbons and bows to the boxes, making each one look like a little gift.
-
Step 3
Place some of the boxes on the plate, making a base on which to stack the remaining boxes. Keep in mind they will end up in a pyramid shape.
-
Step 4
Glue the boxes to the plate. Use just enough glue to hold the boxes securely. You don't want glue showing around the edges of the box.
-
Step 5
Stack the remaining boxes in layers, using fewer boxes for each layer. Glue them in place as you go.
-
Step 6
Top the centerpiece with the last, or smallest, box. Add garland, fake snow or nothing at all around the bottom layer of boxes.
