The holidays can bring on unwanted stress, especially if you are hosting a holiday party. The Festival of Trees committee has several ideas to bring you over the next few weeks to help make your holidays a breeze.

Choosing the perfect centerpiece for your holiday table shouldn’t be hard or too overthought. This Coca-Cola bottle centerpiece was put together in less than 5 minutes and looks festive and fun.

To make this centerpiece, you need the following:

• 6 empty Coke bottles
• 6 pine branches or holly branches from your yard
• a festive serving platter
• piece of burlap fabric

Simply place the piece of burlap fabric underneath your festive platter and place the six Coke bottles on the platter. Fill the Coke bottles with greenery or holly branches. Ta-da! You have an inexpensive and easy centerpiece for your table or another surface in your home.
