#1: $15 Dollar Tree Gold Winter Wonderland Centerpiece
This magical, golden winter wonderland centerpiece is only $15 in total! This project can be a fantastic centerpiece for your dining table or mantle or even as decor for your winter wedding. We made these floating ornaments by filling them with sand, so they don’t sink and will still float in the middle of the vase. This is arguably the most challenging part of the project, but we were able to make it work with some trial and error. Take a look at the supply list and the video on how to make it yourself!
