This is my quick and really cheap way to dress up a table!
Supplies
Wet Floral Foam – a 3 pack is about $4.00, and will make 12
Plastic plant saucers – .35 cents each
Candle – less than a dollar
Flowers – free, I used blooming branches from my yard
Cut floral foam in half lengthwise and then each piece in half.
Slightly trim off bottom corners of foam at an angle so the foam sits snugly into the plastic saucer.
Soak floral foam.
Place foam in container and add a candle (I wish the candles I had on hand had been a bit taller.)
Stick flowers into the foam. Depending on the flowers you use, if you keep the floral foam wet these flower centerpieces will last for days! These are even great to make in the winter with evergreen from your yard!
I made 7 centerpieces for less than $1.00 each!

Um besides the fact that the table looks so spring-y and fun, how did you manage to even write this post having done a days worth of hourly posts yesterday?
I’m super impressed, plus a little ashamed seeing as I have yet to post for the day…
