I’m so excited today to be a part of a big Winter themed celebration with some other pretty fabulous bloggers.

The decor I’m sharing is not only super duper easy, but honestly very inexpensive {especially if you’re a craft store junky like myself}. All of the items I used were purchased after Christmas last year for about 80% off!
To make your own Candy Swirl Centerpiece, you’ll need:
foam vase filler {reds, whites, and silvers}
red & white “candy” inspired Christmas stems
a fish bowl
a small foam disc
To assemble the centerpiece, I first made sure to clean the fish bowl with some glass cleaner. It was a bit dusty from sitting in my craft closet for about 12 months. Once it was clean, I placed the small foam disc inside the fish bowl, poked the Christmas stems through the foam, and arranged them until I felt satisfied with how they looked.
Finally, I added the red, white, and silver vase filler, and voila! Instant, candy swirl centerpiece for our kitchen table!
I placed it on top of a couple pieces of burlap and added a couple of felt snowflake ornaments to finish off the look.
How have you added a little homemade to your holiday this year?!
Merry Christmas!

This centerpiece is stunning, Meredith! I LOVE the color combo of red/white/black so I could create something like this for anytime of year! Thanks for inspiring me!
