While prepping for Christmas Eve, I realized I didn't have a centerpiece for the table. Every holiday, I love making a centerpiece because I don't want to spend a significant amount of money on buying one already put together and because it's a fun searching and finding items in my home and on clearance to create a beautiful holiday centerpiece. Here is what I did for Thanksgiving.

For this centerpiece, I used fresh flowers and a real pumpkin with double stick tape, ribbon, decorative paper, and floral foam. It was the first time I used floral foam, and it was easier to arrange the flowers in the pumpkin. I purchased ribbon from the craft store and found the printable online and printed it on silk paper a client of mine gave to me. It took about 15 minutes to put together, and everyone loved it.

Getting back on topic, I wanted to create a craft for the center of my table that was straightforward and elegant but didn't cost a significant amount of money.

Easy DIY Interchangeable Holiday Centerpieces

While at the craft store, I saw so many different items that I wanted to use for my centerpiece it was hard to decide. It occurred to me that there were two holidays so close together that I should be flexible in my design so I could change it easily.

Tip: If you want to do craft projects, go to the craft store a few weeks before the holiday. All the items will be at a deep discount. Each item I purchased was at least 50% off. I got all these items listed below for $15.56 (including tax and a $10.00 reward I received from the craft store.) Cha-ching!

Ingredients for the Craft Project:

Glass Cup Margarita style $4.45 Embossed LED light candle (battery operated) $4.75 2 Holly bush silk flower bunches $.72 1 Garland Berry style in red $2.38 1 garland berry in blues and silver style $2.38 1 broken glass piece $0.00 Hot Glue or double-stick ...

Freezing fresh herbs is a great way to preserve your herb garden through the winter months. I am going to show you three ways I did just that using herbs from my garden. And, boy, am I glad I did. The fresh herbs in olive oil are fantastic with any meat or vegetable you want to add to it. I created three versions of herb bomb to enjoy during the cold weather.

What inspired me to do these Herb Bomb Recipes?

I switched to a Smart Orbit garden watering system this year (see previous post) and found that my herbs lasted significantly longer than usual and grew twice as large. So, I ended up with an abundance of herbs this year and didn't want them to go to waste, so I decided to create herb bombs to use up a lot of them and preserve them for next year.

While researching herb bomb recipes, I found that many people did not include a variation of these herbs in one frozen herb bomb. So, I decided to mix things up and share herb-boosted recipes that enhance flavor without adding new ingredients. Follow along and explore the various recipes. Enjoy!

Tools to use to make herb bomb recipes.

Let's first talk about the tools you will need to make these recipes. Below are the things I used to make these Herb Bomb recipes easy and quick. The longest time it took was to freeze them. =)

A chef's knife, being sharp and sturdy, will help chop these herbs finely.

Cutting board - Have a good-quality one.

Ice cube trays with silicone bottoms make it easier to pop the bombs out after they are frozen.

Freezer quart or gallon bag - After the bombs are frozen, I toss them into a freezer bag and label it for easy access when I need them.

The first combination of herb bombs recipe was created to be used when I make my homemade weeknight tomato sauce recipe: 20 Minute Tomato Sauce (Sugo) ... Visit the post for more details! The link is in the first comment.
