Chase away the winter blues with the playful elegance of a tumbling snowman and airborne snowballs.
For young and old, this centerpiece design is a nostalgic nod to snowy days, perfect for winter birthdays, seasonal events, and holiday weddings.
As if caught mid-tumble, the snowman's playful pose adds movement and charm that makes it more engaging than a static figure.
A reflective, beaded pedestal elevates the snowman with a glitzy, frosty look that mimics icicles and draws the eye upward.
The varying sizes and heights of white orbs scattered across the table resemble snowballs in mid-air, creating a cohesive snowy effect that's whimsical and seasonally themed.

Additional Supplies
- 13" Circular mirror candle plate
- Glass vase or jar - 7.5" tall x 7" diameter
- 16 assorted candlesticks
- Metallic silver spray paint
- 16 white bauble ornaments - assorted sizes
- Tissue paper or beverage napkins - pink, turquoise, yellow
Assemble Pedestal
- To create this snowy table scene, we'll start with the icicle pedestal.
- Simply set the beaded chandelier on top of the glass jar.
- Let the outer ring of bead strands hang outside the glass jar with the rest on the inside.
- The bead strands will keep the chandelier on the jar, but you can use hot glue or museum putty if you want to prevent shifting.
- You may also choose to add a platform on top of the chandelier to place the snowman.
Paint Candlesticks
- For the snowball pedestals I used assorted candlesticks, painted metallic silver.
- The hanger cap & ornament neck fit perfectly in the candle sockets.
- Metal, plastic, and glass candleholders all turn out great.
Set the Scene
- To create a snowy landscape start with a white cotton, felt, or satin table cover.
- Position the 13" circular mirror base, icicle pedestal, and tumbling snowman in the center of the table.
- Arrange silver candlesticks with white ornaments on each side of the centerpiece.
- Alternate turquoise, pink, & yellow tissue paper or beverage napkins in stemless glasses at each place setting.
- Too playful? Refine the look by using the same color for tissue accents & napkin rings.
Guest Experience
- For each place setting, roll white napkins and bind with bead necklaces.
- Coordinate the color of the necklace napkin rings with the tissue accents at each place setting.
- I like to use bead necklaces as napkin rings because they look elegant and are available in every color.
- They also add an interactive delight for guests to wear & keep.
Reverse View
- The reverse view complements the front to create a playful and inviting winter scene from all angles.
I like to combine refined aspects with whimsical elements for a look that feels both polished and lively.
