Just like most of us, one of my favourite times of the year is Christmas! Ahh...the baking, the snow falling, the lights, the drink menu at Starbucks, and of course the decorating! But there is nothing worse then taking down your heap load of Christmas decorations to leave your house looking empty...womp womp! After removing my Christmas centerpiece off of the dining table, it just looked so lifeless. So I started crafting and put together this extremely easy centerpiece! Although this could work for Christmas as well, it has the perfect "cool winter" theme to highlight your table for January. Below you can find a list of all the materials you will need to make this!
PS. All of the following materials can be purchased at your local dollar store.

* GLITTER (3-4 PACKS)
*WHITE GLUE (1)
* MEDIUM SIZE PAINT BRUSH (1)
* ARTWORKS STONE PEBBLES (2 PACKS)
* GLASS VASE/JAR
* HANDFUL OF BRANCHES
LETS GET MESSY!
OKAY...First off, making this can get a little messy, but super fun! So make sure to lay out some newspapers or garbage bags on a large flat surface.
1. Take 1 branch from your handful and paint over with the white glue. Be sure to hold from the bottom and cover everything but the bottom, as you will need this part to hold the branch in place.
2. After covering the entire branch with glue, hold the branch just above your work surface and sprinkle over with the glitter, rotating through to make sure the entire branch is covered. When finished, place aside to dry.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all of your branches, Once they are all done leave aside to dry for about 3 hours.
** Make sure to scrape up all the glitter that has fallen down to your table and fill back into the container as you go...trust me, this will save you A LOT of glitter!
4. Grab your stone pebbles, and pour into your glass vase/jar, until half way full.
5. Once your branches are dry, glue and glitter the bottom of each branch. Set aside and let dry for 1 hour.
6. After drying, shake off any access glitter from your branches, and carefully place branches in between your stone pebbles in your vase.
