Pine Center Pieces

Christmas Craft Countdown Day 11: Pine Center Pieces

*Today's post comes from my friend, Krista, whom you can look to for advice and direction re: all things vintage. She has great style and great taste and is an all around nice person.*Martha

                                                         

These Christmas centerpieces are cheap and really easy but add just enough festive spirit to any table. 

Supplies:

Glass Jars (various sizes) and the older the better

Twine

Potter soil

Spruce tree branches

Steps:

First, wrap the twine around the jars.  Feel free to make it as thick as you’d like.  I wrapped one jar just a few times and used a lot of twine on others.  Tie it off or use a hot glue gun to secure it to the jar.

Second, pour potter soil into the jar.  Pack the soil down until it fills roughly 2/3 of the jar.

Third, place your branches in the soil.  I used old branches I trimmed from my tree or you can go to a Christmas tree lot and ask for scrap branches they have.

Fourth, fill the rest of the jar with soil and you are finished!

I did a couple in various sizes and placed them all together.  Feel free to add pinecones or holly berries to give it an even more festive feel.  Enjoy!!
