Nothing says the Winter Holidays quite like cranberries and pine boughs, am I right? The scent and color of the two, individually or mixed together, are quintessentially wintery. The bright greens and red a welcome splash of color in the paleness of a snowy day. Bring the colors and the scents of these two inside and create a perfect, and perfectly simple, centerpiece or mantle display that is both rustic and elegant with this easy project.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: Less than five minutes

Things you’ll need:
Small floating candles
Wide mouth Mason Jars
Cranberries
Pine tree clippings
Scissors or trimmers
Water

Things to do:
1. Trim pine clippings to a relatively even length of about 3/4 the height of the jar.

2. Fill the bottom of the jar with as many lengths of pine clipping as you can squeeze in.

3. Add enough water to just cover the pine clippings then fill most of the rest of the jar loosely with cranberries.

4. Sink a floating candle in the middle of the cranberries and add enough water to allow the candle to float.
