Traditional Christmas centrepiece
The tradition is always the best choice

zoom »
You will need
- Artificial pine garland
- Dried orange slices and other dried fruit
- Cinnamon sticks
- 2 silk roses
- 1 candle
- 8 Christmas balls
- A large plate
This centrepiece is beautiful for its colours.
The colours of ornaments are only red and orange; the differences are in their shades.
So Christmas balls
were all hand-picked: some are transparent, other opaque and some other bright. The artificial roses are made by orange silk with a touch of gold colour. The candle turns more to red.
Look at the photo and its enlargement for more details.
Choose a large plate. Place the artificial garland on its edge, the candle in its centre, the Christmas balls between the candle and the garland.
Arrange the roses among the Christmas balls in order to hide the stems.
Put the orange slices, cinnamon sticks and other dried fruit among the pine branches.
Use this decoration for Christmas table but don't light the candle! You can also use it for a piece of furniture or table.
