Cranberry Vases

Every year my Mom puts out her beautiful Christmas decorations. One of my favorite decorations is probably one of the easiest to make. She buys a bag of cranberries and uses some of her glass vases that she has around the house.


She puts the cranberries in the vases and adds water, then tops it with a floating candle. A very simple, yet beautiful holiday decoration.

  2. Beautiful...and I can do this...cranberries--check, vase--check, water--check, candle--check. Thanks you for the idea! I like the framed button picture, too, but that will have to wait until next year.

    1. Most floating candles have a burn rate of 3 hours to maybe 6 tops. If the water stays cool to room temp, it's perfect for an evenings entertainment. You could always rinse the cranberries off at the end of the evening to see if any have gone bad, refrigerate for a second party.
