How to Make the DIY Christmas Centerpiece

Step 1: Prepare the Pine Cones

Before painting, use a brush dampened with turpentine to remove any resin impurities from the pine cone scales. Then, spray the pine cones with gold paint, and also paint the plastic container that will serve as the base. Repeat if necessary. For lighting to highlight your creation, explore our lighting collection.

Step 2: Add Glitter

Treat another pine cone—perhaps the largest one—by applying a generous layer of vinyl glue with a brush. Sprinkle silver glitter over the pine cone, covering all the woody scales. Let it dry completely before assembling. To display your centerpiece, a dining table from our selection would be ideal.

Step 3: Assemble the Centerpiece

Place the pine cone in the center of the plastic container. Use floral foam to secure it in place. Add the fir twigs and berries, arranging them harmoniously for a decorative look. For additional festive decor, check out our wall decor and outdoor decor collections.
