Cranberries in the Snow Valentine's Day Candle Centerpiece

Happy Thursday, Friends! I'm popping in a day early to participate in the Creative Crafts blog hop hosted by Andrea from Design Morsels and Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate! Today I'm sharing a simple candle centerpiece that you can style for winter to Valentine's Day...

If you hoped over after visiting Jenna at The Painted Apron, welcome! While cranberries are often associated with holiday decor, when I saw how nicely they pair with snowy white Epsom salt, I decided to use mine to create a winter candle. More recently, I styled it on a chalkboard tray to create a simple Valentine centerpiece. Ready to make your own?

Here's what you'll need:

Cranberries
Epsom salt
White candle
Hurricane vase or mason jar
Tray
Small Valentine accents

First add Epsom salt to your vase/jar. (How much you use will depend on the size of your jar and and candle.)

Next, add the candle and then surround it with cranberries, but make sure they are dry. Last, arrange your cranberries in the snow candle on a tray with a few small Valentine accents.

  4. This really makes a perfect spot of color for Valentine's Day. I always have Epsom salts, and, just picked up cranberries that were on sale, so I'm all set to make this!

  7. Cecilia, You are so right, red cranberries and white epsom salts are a perfect combination for Valentine's day decor! I am already thinking about how I could use those two combinations to make a heart shape in a container! Great idea!!

  9. Love this for winter decor. I've done it as well, but I also used Epsom salt to coat the cranberries so that they looked frosted and they glistened! xo Kathleen

  10. Very pretty! I think I'd add a few drops of essential oil to add fragrance, then throw the Epsoms salts in the tub afterwards! I love making Eppsom bath salts in pretty jars for gifts!
