How to Make Inexpensive Centerpieces

While centerpieces give tabletops and surfaces a glamorous feel, these ornate creations can run high in price and preparation time. Instead of splurging on floral arrangements that break the bank and only last a few days, try making a unique, easy-on-the-wallet alternative.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Large, clear vase with wide top
• Potpourri
• Apples (any color)
• Food coloring
• Fragrant tea light

1. Fill a large, clear vase with water until half full.
2. Add food coloring to desired shade.
3. Place 5 apples in the vase, one at a time.
4. Sprinkle a handful of potpourri in the vase so it floats.
5. Add a fragrant tea candle.
6. Repeat with new vases as needed.

Tips & Warnings

• Experiment with other fruit for a more colorful theme.
• Always place the centerpiece in its final location before lighting the tea candle to avoid injury
