I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving vacation! I don’t know about you but I’m getting pretty excited about Christmas so this week is going to be “Deck Your Halls” week here at cheapcraftymama.com. Each day I will share some cheap, fabulous ways to get your house ready for Christmas!
Today I’m going to show you how I made this awesome centerpiece for next to nothing!
I started by gathering some fallen branches in my yard (my little boy is really good at helping me find sticks). Then I set them all out on my spray board and used some leftover white spray paint to paint them white (silver would look good too).
Once they were dry I arranged them in a clear glass vase and decorated them with some extra ball ornaments. (My son likes to point at it and say “ball”!)
This would be cute with any kind of ornaments or even some leaves cut out of photos or scrap-book paper!

You have a very beautiful centerpiece. Mine is like yours but I didn’t painted it to remind me of our Christmas tree when I was a child in the Philippines.

Kate-
I’ve been scouring the neighborhood for branches for this very project. {I need things my wild boys can’t DESTROY this year}. Plastic and wood are safe…lol…
Very pretty. I need to buy white spray paint this week…
If you have a moment, please share your tree @Holiday Link Party. Hope to see you there!
So sweet and simple – very effective!
