From your own talented self!

1. Different pillar candles of different heights for the center table. Use red or green or both. Put in the center of a wreath that you have purchased or made yourself. Scatter pinecones around the bottom as confetti (easily collected in the park).
2. Buy some Christmas paper that matches your theme. Elegant if the party is dressy; fun if the party is casual. Wrap different size boxes and pile them up to make a tower (large to small, bottom up) and tie off with matching ribbon and a big Christmas bow on top; a great centerpiece for virtually pennies!
3. Go out and collect pinecones. Spray paint them in silver, gold, green and red. Add a little glitter. Center on the table in a big basket with cinnamon sticks and potpourri. Easy, pretty and smells good, too.
