I don’t know about you, but we love having a simple centerpiece on our table year round. I’ve seen many elaborate tablescapes and centerpieces and while they are simple gorgeous, they aren’t right for this stage in our life or our family. We like things simple, easy to create and change and easy to move around. I’m showing you my sand and shells summer centerpiece today.
We love it and think it is so cute! It was also so easy to put together and because I put everything in a tray, we can easily move it for crafting, games or for whatever else we need our kitchen table.
To make your own simple centerpiece for summer, you will need: sand, shells, sea glass, ribbon, candle holders and candles.
Tie a piece or ribbon around your candle holder. I used the same ribbon I used on my Summer Apothecary Jars that sit right next to our table on the kitchen counter.
If you like my candle holders, they are from IKEA. Skurar candle holder (only $1.99)!
Place the candle holders in the tray first. Then add your sand.
Finally add your sea glass and shells in the sand.
Yep, we are already done. Now just sit back and enjoy your light and breezy summer centerpiece. Then, if you are like me, you can yell at your kids and husband to stop playing in the sand…lol!
I used my bows facing different directions so that every side of the table has at least one bow facing that direction.
Now for a few pretty pictures.
Ready to head to the beach for an afternoon lounging and reading? I sure feel like it with my summer apothecary jars and this summer centerpiece.
This is lovely and is perfect for a summertime centerpiece! What a great idea and like you said it is simple! Simple is good! Thanks for sharing ~Leah~
Thank you! I like simple but sometimes when I see the elaborate, I feel like my simple things are kind of silly. Have a great weekend.

Super pretty! Love the candleholders and so inexpensive!
Thank you! Yes, gotta love this price point for a simple centerpiece and the candle holders.
Take care,

Thank you!
Bookmarked for my trip in 2 weeks!!!
Oh fun! Where are you headed? Going to pick up your own sand and shells…love that idea. Then it has even more meaning and memories.

Those do look so light and airy. With my house so torn up with summer, I haven’t bothered with a centerpiece but I do try incorporate shells in the summer — when not living through a remodel. Ha. I love using the candles too. Will have to remember this KC.
Yeah, it makes sense for you to not have shells out this summer. The house looks like a shell itself at the moment…no need to have shells all over. 😉 Wishing you some peace during the remodel and no more big problems.

So cute! I love how it brings the beach inside and these would also be great for DIY wedding centerpieces.
