Christmas Centerpiece with Glittered No-Sew Table Runner

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s pretty chilly here in AZ right now, which is totally putting me in the Christmas spirit!  Last year, I was wearing shorts and flip flops when we were putting lights on the house.  Yesterday I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt and freezing!  

Today, I’m sharing my Christmas Centerpiece with a Glittered New-Sew Table Runner.  Remember my DIY Fall Centerpiece?  I loved how it looked and it is so versatile.  All I had to do this time was make a new table runner and change out what I filled it with.  Super simple!  

I loved the chevron pattern I used last time, but I wanted to change it up a bit.  I decided to paint some stripes.  I was inspired by vintage flour sack stripes, so I taped off my lines in that fashion.  I measured 3 1/2″ from each edge of the 12×48″ table runner that I cut from leftover drop cloth.  Then I made my smaller lines about 3/8″ thick and my larger line about 1 1/8″ thick.  

 I just love Martha Stewart paints.  I used her Glitter paints in Garnet and Verdelite for the stripes.  

 

I alternated my stripes and then peeled up the tape.  It’s that easy!  I love how festive the glitter paint looks.

 I had some Christmas picks that I had bought at Hobby Lobby and snipped the stems off and stuck those in between the jars.  I also had some cinnamon sticks and added those throughout the box too.  

 It’s so warm and cozy, don’t you think?  I just love it.  I can’t wait to host Christmas Eve brunch and have everyone gathered around the table.  I hope you’ll give this a try for your Christmas centerpiece.  It’s so simple and easy to make.  You can even give it as a gift at your next Christmas party!  If you missed the tutorial for building the box, you can find it here.

 As always, feel free to pin, “like”, share, and/or comment!  I love to hearing from you.  

Merry Christmas!
