Ideas #2: While the video below by Curious Farms Market in Bennet, CO focuses on a Thanksgiving table decor, the placemat and place card ideas can easily be adjusted for a festive Christmas using the Holly Jolly and Evergreen Stamp sets.

Centerpiece Ideas for DIY Christmas Table Decor

Sometimes there isn’t time to make a full tablescape — and that’s when a beautiful centerpiece can be the star of the show.

Idea #3: This rustic centerpiece using a piece of the Woodland Christmas Transfer by Diane’s Designs in Minot, ND compliments a variety of styles. (Note: This transfer is a limited edition but there are still a few left. Reach out via the contact form to get your hands on one.)

Idea #4: Upcycled a pickle jar into a vase to feature seasonal cut greenery, like Christmas berries. This one below was made with the Rose Toile Stamp but you can use any IOD stamp set. Click here for a step-by-step tutorial.

Idea #5: How beautiful is this winter rose tray? Ellen J Goods just made this on her IOD TV Facebook Live using the Fronds Stamp, the Wreath Builder Stamp and the Painterly Floral Transfer. You can watch the full tutorial by clicking here.

Idea #6: Just imagine this gracing your holiday table? So festive and cozy for a cold winter’s night. This “sugared” votive candle holder was made with the Holly Jolly Stamp and IOD Tomatto decor ink by IOD stockist Gather in Louisville, KY.
