This holiday season take inspiration from the produce department at your neighborhood grocery store to create beautiful and inexpensive centerpieces that will bring a festive spirit to any table!  I used a combination of clementive oranges and fresh cranberries to come up with a noteworthy piece that smells divine.  And the whole thing cost me less than $10!  This idea is very versatile  but for an example, here's how mine came together:  I started with one large vase, a bag of fresh cranberries and 5 clementine oranges.  After covering the bottom of the vase with cranberries, I placed the first orange, covered it with cranberries, placed the next orange and repeated, staggering the placement of the oranges so that at least one may be seen from any angle and letting cranberries fill any extra spaces.  Any clear container would work.  You might also use hazelnuts, nutmeg or cinnamon sticks to add extra texture and scent.  Get creative and have fun!
