Thanksgiving Centerpiece #1

Sadly, work got the better of me last week, and I didn't get to put up a new post. :( However, this is a new week (stressful though it has been), and I decided that no matter what, I would post something new! So, here is my post for the week!

It's November and with November comes that middle child of Holidays.... THANKSGIVING! I do feel bad for Thanksgiving. It seems like stores go straight from Halloween to Christmas, but don't fret my dear Thanksgiving, I have some crafty ideas up my sleeve for you!




For this centerpiece, all you need is:
-plastic wrap
-tea light candles
-two bags of cranberries (depending on size of bowl)
-a large clear bowl
-water




First, fill the bowl three-quarters with loosely balled up plastic wrap

Second, pour cranberries on top (this should weigh down your plastic wrap)

Third, fill the bowl close to the top with water

Finally, arrange tea light candles in the cranberries

And there you have it! A fast, easy Thanksgiving centerpiece!




*helpful hints*
-use a bowl that is elevated so that it stands above everything else
-don't pack the plastic wrap, you want it to be loose so that it looks like ice


I hope that you enjoy your Thanksgiving centerpiece, and stay tuned for more Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas!


Stay crafty,

Sarah P.


P.S. My mommy helped me with this one :)
