Here is a table centerpiece for Christmas and the Holiday Season made out of corrugated paper. It is decorated with fresh branches, dried flowers, ribbons and glass birds. 

The idea was to create 5 Christmas wreaths of various sizes and to arrange them on top of the five circular bases. However, in order to make it more simple for the unexperienced who are not familiar with the art of flower arrangements, we chose an easy way that makes the piece just as nice. 

The leaves were taken from bushes that grow in our garden. We cut off the small branches from the main stem and arrange them neatly around the bases. On top, we added some small dried flowers, acorns and little balls made out of red Fimo. You can use tiny flowers or whole branches with tiny blossoms like the kinds used to add volume to flower arrangements. These come in many colors and shades and will be just perfect for this purpose.  

We have used our antique glass birds but any Christmas ornaments of your choice will be just as nice. 

The construction of the centerpiece is very simple. To get an idea how to make it, please see some of our tutorials for items similar to this one.

Our suggestion for the table setting: If you use a cream tablecloth you can use light green plates with light green napkins or white plates with subtle red decorations and red napkins. If your tablecloth is light green, white plates and white napkins will look great.
You can enhance the look of the setting and harmonize it with the centerpiece by adding little bowls covered with the metallic gold wavy/corrugated paper. You can use the bowls to serve salads, sweets or anything that goes with your menu. You can also cut narrow strips from the wavy/ corrugated gold paper and create rings to hold the napkins.

You can also add decoration of red and white flowers to the table. Arrange the flowers in plain small glasses covered with a gold metallic paper as seen in the picture. This presentation of several small bowls of flowers around the table, will look fantastic.

For the favor box in the front use any green and gold/silver paper and metallic gold wavy/corrugated paper and tie with the green ribbon.

This centerpiece looks as gorgeous in reality as in the photo.
