10 MINUTE CHRISTMAS ARRANGEMENT
Do you get tired dragging those big boxes of holiday decor up and down the basement steps to decorate your home for Christmas? Have you ever asked yourself, “There has to be a better way”! Well, there is! Today I’m sharing how to use just a couple elements to make a very pretty Christmas arrangement in a bowl.
This easy to put together arrangement is what I call a “recipe”. If you learn how to make this then you can create all kinds of other arrangements too!
Here’s what you will need to make this pretty little Christmas arrangement…
- large bowl
- candle in a glass container or battery operated candle with timer
- pinecones
- small bits of greens (either faux or real)
- any other Christmas decor
1 and 2 Depending on how tall your candle is and how tall you want it to raise up from the arrangement, put the candle on a small container or anything that is stable and will raise it up. If you have room around your candle add pinecones to fill it in.
3 Stick greens here and there among the pinecones. Add any other greens and pinecones to the arrangement.
Let some of the arrangement spill out
That’s all to make this pretty 10 minute Christmas Arrangement! Just remember, any candle must not be left unattended!

Beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
If you use a candle in a jar, you could keep water in the bottom of the bowl, increasing the longevity of the greens.
Very pretty, Yvonne. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Yvonne! Enjoy every minute with those grandbabies and other loved ones! We ALL have so many blessings to treasure this year, don’t we???

Happy Thanksgiving, Yvonne … just wanted to take a moment to say how much I’ve loved your blog over the years and how much you have inspired me. I have learned so very much about decorating and making your home your own through your posts and always look forward to the next one. Wishing you the happiest of Holiday Seasons, Kay in Carolina
Thank you so much Kay! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
This is perfect. I got my Grandmas two white nesting mixing bowls and wanted to do something Christmasy in them. This will be perfect fhe small bowl!! I even have everything I need to do this.
Hi Yvonne, I love your decorating style and it fits in with mine perfectly. I have tried to pin from your site many times, without any success. I always get the message “Something went wrong” . I’m a subscriber so I don’t know what the problem is. Please advise me as to how to get past this. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
I have it fixed now Flo!
