Martie's "Use What You Have Holiday" Ideas: Tin Can Centerpieces
Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 10:57PM HERB CENTERPIECE IN TIN CANS
Use old photos for placecards for your holiday dinner or for a family photo galleryA deliciously fragrant and easy way to decorate the house for the holidays... plus you can use them for gifts, too! Tin cans that you save can be covered with wrapping paper or scrapbook paper and used for planting herbs, small plants and even trees! Cluster these on the table for a centerpiece, put one at each placesetting for a favor, or wrap them up for a teacher or co-worker present, this one is a gift that keeps giving. For a wedding, just change the color to your wedding color scheme... it's perfect for so many different occasions!
For placecards or for a personal touch, add photos that you can easily attach to a stick (one from the yard is fine) with a small piece of double stick tape. You can do what we've done here and use a old photo of each guest to mark their place. This is really fun for a wedding reception. You can use old photos of the couple in grass flats or the way we have here.
