Whether you are on a tight budget for your wedding or a special event, it's easy to make inexpensive centerpieces to brighten up tables. You don't have to spend a lot of money for decorations. This simple centerpiece is both easy and inexpensive to create. Even children can help create this centerpiece.
Instructions
1. Buy decorative vases (all shapes and sizes) at a thrift store. Use vases that you find around your house as well. Count how many centerpieces you will need and plan accordingly.Go to a craft store and buy the necessary items you will need to create the centerpieces (if you don't have the materials at home).
2. Call a florist, or search on-line, for bouquet card holder sticks (florists use these sticks inside bouquets to attach the card). Buy card holder sticks from a florist or buy from an on-line floral distributor.
3. Be creative and find old photographs (this is a fun idea for wedding centerpieces). Print out photographs if you don't want to use the original photographs. Cut out stars, wedding bells or holiday theme-shapes (depending on the event) from cardboard. Cut photographs to fit the shape of cardboard cut-outs. Overlap the pictures and glue with craft glue or use a hot glue gun. Print out black and white pictures if you want a more elegant theme for a wedding. After cut-outs dry, stick cut-outs inside the card holder.
4. Measure and cut cellophane so you have enough for the inside of the vase. Bunch cellophane and stuff into the bottom of vase. Push the card holder stick into the bottom of the vase (with the cut-outs sticking out at the top of the vase). Stuff more cellophane inside the vase if the stick is leaning to one side.
5. Measure and cut wire ribbon. Tie a pretty, decorative ribbon around the neck of the vase. Place your centerpieces on the tables and sprinkle confetti around the base of the vases.
