Many holiday gatherings are had around the table during the Christmas season. Make the occasion even more festive by creating your own table centerpiece for everyone to enjoy. Learn how to make a Christmas present centerpiece that everyone will appreciate by following these easy steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Boxes
  • Plate for the base
  • Wrapping paper
  • Ribbon
  • Glue gun
  • Glue sticks
Step1
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.
Step2
Wrap all of the boxes neatly with wrapping paper. Add ribbons and bows to the boxes, making each one look like a little gift.
Step3
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.
Step4
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.
Step5
Stack the remaining boxes in layers, using fewer boxes for each layer. Glue them in place as you go.
Step6
Top the centerpiece with the last, or smallest, box. Add garland, fake snow or nothing at all around the bottom layer of boxes.
