Pine Cone Centerpiece

If you have pinecones in your yard or know where you can get them free, then this is the project for you. Use them to make an interesting and good smelling table decoration.

Materials

pine cones of various sizes ( enough to fill your container)
basket or other decorative container
ribbon for bow
red paint
green paint
gold paint
potpourri oil (I prefer cinnamon scent but choose your favorite)
plastic bag

Directions

Take about 4-5 or about 1/4 of the pinecones and place them in the plastic bag.

Pour the scented oil over them and close them up tightly overnight. Turn the bag a few times. Turning the bag helps distribute the oil. It also lets any extra drip off. Put this aside.

Pick out a variety of sizes and paint some of the cones red, some green, and some gold. Let the paint dry, usually 24 hours. You can leave them all solid colors or you can dip the edges of the green and red ones in the gold paint. You are aiming for a variety of shapes and colors here.

You should have some cones left just plain.

After the paint is dry and the oil had had time to soak in, just place all of them (painted, scented, and plain) in the basket. Try to distribute the colors and sizes evenly.

Attach a bow and you have a simply made table decoration that smells as good as it looks!

Christmas Wedding Centerpiece Ideas

I would love some help with figuring out some centerpiece ideas, among other things. But you would like to know a little more before touching on that. I would like flowers in my centerpieces I think. I'm also interested in candles. I would prefer small or large centerpieces. Maybe large is better for the view of other people. Simple or extravagant would work, also.

I used to do silk floral's at craft shows so I do have a lot of supplies left, but need help with that also. I'm not sure how to arrange them I guess, unless I had pictures or ideas I suppose. I never took a class just always used book ideas.

Our venue will be Hotel Bethlehem for the reception and First Baptist Church in Bethlehem for ceremony. We are having a Cinderella carriage take us from church to hotel. We are having the fairytale theme and our colors are red and silver and budget what is that? When they say this is the biggest party you will ever throw they meant it on the wallet. More than we ever thought.

A simple idea would be taking a large glass bowl (think candy dish not mixing bowl lol ) or a vase and put ornaments with your colors in it. If possible also put a strand of Christmas lights. this may be difficult due to the cords, but maybe possible near the cake? Then you can maybe go around the base of the bowl/vase with flowers. Hope this helps, best wishes for the wedding :)
