You can make a gorgeous winter centerpiece with twigs and candlelight and it's so simple! And of course anything using twigs is great for your Tu B'Shevat (the New Year for the trees) table. Add a few branches if you have some available, even from your neighbor's pruning pile, and you've got yourself a great look, especially on an elegant, creme tablecloth! I've used olive branches, which I think are perfect, thanks to some branches I found hanging out on someones sidewalk. So take a nature walk with the kids, or even yourself, collect some little twigs (of course the neighbor's pruning might also be a good source for those too...) and enjoy. If you're snowed in, with no source of twigs in sight, so you can use some wooden skewers, and even paint them brown. Add a few beads for texture, and yours will look lovely too!
