Rustic Wood Centerpiece Boxes repurposed for Christmas
Hey friends, do these rustic wooden boxes look familiar? You know how much I like to save everything and give it a new purpose. Back in August, I made these wooden centerpiece boxes for my daughter's wedding. Determined they wouldn't be destined for the fire pit woodpile, I came up with a way to repurpose them into Rustic Christmas decor!
To refresh your memory, here is what the rustic wood centerpiece boxes looked like all dressed up for the wedding...

The first thing I did after removing the florals was blow out the florist foam particles using the air nozzle on our compressor. Once clean I dabbed a cloth in mineral spirits to erase the ink transferred Carved Love Heart graphic from the boxes. Some were easier to remove than others.
To add that festive holiday touch, all I did was spray paint wooden snowflakes white and attached them to each box with E6000 glue. It was that simple!
These small rustic wood crates make such lovely woodland Christmas decor. I used four snowflake patterns so they could be displayed as a set.
They make such pretty rustic candle holders too. Place festive red flameless pillar candles over a bed of glimmering snow (Epsom salts) inside each box and display them on a table top tray, window sill, or covered porch to welcome guests during the holidays.
Other purposes for these rustic wood boxes are to have them filled with candy canes for guests to help themselves on their way out the door. They also make great rustic planter boxes for a small Poinsettia.
I decided to turn one into a rustic Christmas Tree Box for a small faux tree...

Very cute idea Marie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anita, I was happy to find a new purpose for the wedding centerpiece boxes. I have lighted tabletop Christmas trees in each and have one in every room during the holidays and just love them.
DeleteAbsolutely love your rustic wood boxes. By using velcro dots, a person could use any decoration on the front and be used for anytime of the year and not just for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWas thinking about these rustic boxes last night and I thought to myself; 'why not to a wood burning design or sayings of some sort on each wood section of the box.
DeleteThese are really nice Marie. With rustic and farmhouse decor so popular these would be so great. Happy Sunday. I got up pretty early this morning too. Just hate that it will be dark so early in the evenings now. Have a great start to the new week. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris, I love how I can put them out pre-Christmas and leave them out until the end of winter. I so wish we didn't have to switch from DST like other provinces in Canada. Wishing you a great new week too! xoxo
DeleteDo you have the snowflake patterns available for download?
ReplyDeleteHi Carla, they are actually wooden snowflakes that I painted and glued onto the boxes. I found them at the dollar store.
