Merry Berry Table Arrangement—Video Workshop
Pull Up a Chair
Four crepe paper flowers come together in a low, long paper flower centerpiece made for the holiday dinner table. Bright white gardenias, a deep burgundy dahlia, striped carnations, and clusters of red berries are joined by fir and silvery eucalyptus. Each one has its own workshop, so you can make them one at a time and bring them together at the end.
A dinner table arrangement has a job to do. It needs to stay low enough that everyone can see each other and talk across the table, and long enough to run down the center without crowding the plates. Lia shows how she builds an arrangement outward rather than upward, so it reads beautifully from every seat.
Crepe Paper Gardenia
Bright white gardenias are the lightest point in the arrangement and draw the eye down the length of the table.
Crepe Paper Rip City Dahlia
This deep burgundy dahlia is a real variety that shares its name with our hometown nickname here in Portland. Its rich color grounds the whites and pinks around it.
Crepe Paper Carnation
Ruffled carnations with pink and white striped edges add softness and a little whimsy.
Crepe Paper Pink Berry Branch
Clusters of glossy red berries bring the merry to this arrangement and tuck in wherever it needs a pop of color.
Crepe Paper Fir Branch
Fir branches stretch the arrangement along the table and give it that evergreen holiday feel.
Crepe Paper Baby Blue Eucalyptus
Silvery blue-green leaves soften the edges and keep the deeper tones from feeling heavy.
Set it down the middle of your table for holiday dinners, then move it to a sideboard or mantel between gatherings. Because every stem is paper, the fir won’t drop a single needle on the tablecloth, and you can bring it back out year after year.
When yours is done, share it with our crafters’ community using #MadeWithLia. We’d love to see your table.
FAQs
How many of each flower do I need for this paper flower centerpiece?
Lia uses three stems of each: gardenias, Rip City dahlias, carnations, pink berry branches, fir branches, and baby blue eucalyptus, for eighteen stems in all.
Do I need to make all the flowers before I start?
No. You’re welcome to watch the workshop first to see how Lia builds the arrangement, then make your flowers.
What supplies do I need?
Each flower’s workshop page lists the full supplies and crepe paper colors for that bloom.
Can I use different flowers?
Absolutely. Any mix of blooms and greenery works for a low, long arrangement, so it’s a good way to use flowers you’ve already made.
