How to make inexpensive centerpieces
Have you ever imagined that with a little creativity, ingenuity and money, you could create economical and original centerpieces like the ones shown below? Choose the version you prefer and use it on special occasions with your friends and family.
1. Watering can with flowers
A metal watering can with flowers inside can be all you need to make your table look great. Use large, colorful flowers to give it a more rustic style.
2. Bottle of flowers and rope
Don’t throw away any bottles you can find in your house! If you put a little water, a string to decorate the neck of the bottle and flowers, you will have one of the most beautiful centerpieces in no time!
3. Centerpiece with what’s in your pantry
Do you have rice and grains in your pantry? Fill a bottle, add flowers and you’re done!
4. Flowers in a cup
Time is tight, guests are coming soon and you don’t have a centerpiece? Place a beautiful mug on a plate on the table with a bouquet of flowers inside.
5. Ultra simple centerpiece
Another of our favorite budget centerpieces is just a glass of wine or a cup of cappuccino with a pretty flower inside. Minimalist and beautiful!
6. Fruits to decorate
How about making a centerpiece with fruits and pineapples ? The style is perfect for fall and you can do it in just two minutes! Pick a tray, place tangerines and pineapples, and even pine needles.
7. An original centerpiece
Do you have heels that you no longer wear? Fill it with roses and leaves, and you’ll see how quickly you’ll get a different centerpiece that no one will soon forget.
8. Bottles with flowers
Small bottles with a little water inside and large flowers can be the perfect decoration to give a casual style to a meal.
9. Floating candles
Among our selection of inexpensive centerpieces, you can’t miss the candles. Choose floating candles, fill a jar with water, place flowers inside the jar (try to sink them) and on the surface of the water, the candle.
10. Stones and candles
Again, we recommend that you take a bottle. Choose one with a wide neck and place stones inside and a candle in the middle. You can change this option by incorporating tall candle or thick and small candle as you wish.
11. Watermelon with flowers
Have you recently eaten a watermelon? Do not throw away the skin! You can place long-stemmed flowers there and voila! If you cut it into portions, don’t worry – you can also use the peel.
12. Lemon vase
Another great idea for making inexpensive centerpieces is to use what we have at home. If you have a round vase, feel free to fill it with lemons (oranges, tangerines or whatever you have in your house) and put the finishing touches with flowers. Lemons can be cut as pictured or whole. It’s up to you !
13. A glass of wine with a candle
We fell in love with this idea. You only need a glass of wine and a small candle. Turn the glass over and place the candle on the stem. More original? Impossible !
14. Straws to decorate
Have you had any colorful straws at home that have been in the back of the closet since your child’s last birthday? Well, it’s time to use them. Take a jar or a glass, measure the height and cut the straws according to these measurements. Place flowers inside and around the bottle, straws, trying to cover the entire surface of the bottle. A knot completes the style.
15. Bird cage with flowers
Do you have a nice old bird cage at home? Enjoy it! Place flowers inside, it doesn’t matter if the leaves or flowers are slipping out of the cage a bit. Leave the door open and you will have a centerpiece that evokes freedom!
16. Lemons and flowers
Surely you never thought of making inexpensive centerpieces with lemons before. Cut the lower part of the peel so that the lemon is stable, without reaching the pulp. Then cut the other end this time down to the pulp. Plant a flower there and flavor your home with a very original centerpiece!
17. Pears on a platter
Take an elongated dish, place pine needles and 3 or 4 pears on top. Give the final touch by incorporating grapes.
18. Sticks and flowers
Take the opportunity to go out and collect bits of wood with your children. Then take a bouquet, tie it to the pieces of wood and secure them with a rope so that it all stands upright.
Which of these economical centerpieces is your favorite? You can try each of them and surprise your guests with the most original ideas to dress your table!
