DIY table centerpiece: 8 incredible ideas to make cheap and very original creations

Table centerpieces are the perfect decoration for any special dining occasion. They are often so elaborate and detailed that one might believe a professional created them. But this is not necessarily the case.

A perfect centerpiece suitable for any occasion can be made with almost any kind of material. Furthermore, with a little dexterity and creative flair, anyone can try their hand at making one. And it can be done, among other things, without incurring any large expenses.

Check out the ideas below:

Using upside-down glasses fixed to a base and some decorative elements of various kinds, shapes and colors, you can create spectacular centerpieces with very little effort.

Pine cones, fruit and candles are what you need for a traditional and picturesque Christmas centrepiece: very cheap but always trendy.

For a more refined and elegant look (perhaps for a wedding), you can combine candles, leaves, flowers and "slices" of a trunk or even whole logs. The composition can be guided by your creativity. The "wow" effect is always guaranteed.

A glass sphere decorated with butterflies and pearls and placed on a mirrored base is beautiful and suitable for many occasions. You can decide to combine any element you want with a glass sphere and be sure to still achieve a stunning effect.

Small plants are another classic centerpiece element that is cheap, but will make a great impression. 

And what do you think of these bottles? Used as vases for flowers and decorated with flair and creativity, they are an attractive and very inexpensive idea.

If you want to do something more refined, however, you can set up a composition made up of various elements. Small vases with flowers and candles, arranged in an orderly manner on a runner that occupies the entire length of a table, are a good solution for an original and attractive table.

Finally, for a centerpiece with an autumnal flavour, try hollowing out a pumpkin and placing flowers and seasonal fruit inside it. It can be fresh fruit (which you will then eat) or artificial fruit. The contrasting colors will look truly spectacular.
