Creating stunning centerpieces is a lot easier than you think. If you're on a budget or you just enjoy DIY projects, you can make your own centerpieces for your next party. These projects will make your next party sparkle.
Fire And Ice Centerpiece
This table centerpiece requires an empty half-gallon cardboard milk carton, a pillar candle, rosebuds, fresh holly, scissors and a shallow tray. Place the candle into the milk carton, and then cut the carton so that the top of the candle rises above the top of the carton. Place the holly and rosebuds around the candle. Fill up the carton with water, and then place the carton in the freezer. Once the ice is solid, place the carton in warm water, and then peel the paper off of the carton. Place the ice sculpture in the tray, and surround with more ivy and rosebuds.
Decorative Balls Centerpiece
Decorative balls can be found at craft stores in a variety of different styles. Colored decorative balls, balls made of twigs and balls with glitter are common. Mix and match different balls for a variety of looks. To create this stunning centerpiece, simply arrange the balls in a bowl, platter or shallow tray. Add lengths of ribbon, ivy or decorative twigs to make your centerpiece more eye-catching.
Mirror Centerpiece
For this centerpiece, you'll need a round mirror and 10 to 12 votive candles in holders. Place the mirror on the center of the table. Place the candles at the center of the mirror, and light them just before the party starts. The flickering lights of the candles will be magnified by the mirror, creating beautiful light effects.
Floral Watering Can Centerpiece
Collect or buy brass watering cans to use at each table. Purchase baby's breath and other delicate, small flowers to use in the design. Arrange the flowers in the watering can, coming out of the large part of the watering can. Use raffia or a natural-looking ribbon to tie around the base of the watering can. Place the can on a small plate to complete the look.
