Make a Natural Accent for Your Holiday Table

Instead of spending a lot of money decorating your holiday table, you can use natural items to enhance your table. Not only will your table look beautiful and modern but you can do it with little or no money at all. Not only does this look great for a holiday table, but you can use it all year long to bring little of the outdoors, indoors.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Go outside and look for fallen branches in different sizes, lengths, widths. Wash them gently and them dry them with a towel. You can lay the branches out on a towel and allow them to dry overnight.
Step 2

Choose a glass vase or other nice vase or container that is big enough to support the weight of the branches to ensure they stay upright and do not fall down.
Step 3

Starting with the heaviest, largest branch, place it into the vase. Then add in smaller branches adjusting them to look balanced into the vase. The largest branch will be the visual centerpiece as the smaller ones help make it look more artistic.
Step 4

If you like you can ad in some fake or real flowers to add some simple color to the decor.
Step 5

Add some candles to your table matching the colors of flowers you placed into your branch arrangement.
Step 6

You can also add some pine-cones or acorns at the bottom of the vase if you like, or even just place some in the center of the table.
Step 7

You can use all sorts of tree branches, some with leaves or pine needles on them for a different look. You can also use these branches all year long for a beautiful look throughout your home.
