Want to decorate your table for a special occasion or as a decor vignette? Here are 20 creative and easy DIY rustic centerpieces on a budget that will set you on track.
While table centerpieces are usually decorated for special occasions such as weddings, Thanksgiving, or parties, we have a strong opinion about using them for everyday home decor. The reasoning is simple – they make any table look fantastic. And what better way to make an empty coffee table look better and liven up the living room than a well done rustic centerpiece with flowers?
There are many more ways to make your DIY centerpiece so we went ahead and made a list of the best craft projects we could find. Here are several of our favorite ideas that will make a huge difference in your home decor if you choose to make some of them yourself.
Wine Bottle Succulent DIY Centerpiece
There’s nothing better than whimsical decor and unique accents. If you’re looking for a centerpiece that will stand out and make a great conversation piece, how about making a wine bottle succulent centerpiece. It’s the perfect project to reuse glass bottles that you may have around.

Sand Vase DIY Centerpieces
Creating your centerpiece from fun vases is a great way to decorate a table. But painting the vases isn’t a unique project.

All that’s left is to arrange your flowers into a beautiful centerpiece.
