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!
Brilliant! Thanks for the tutorial – will be making some this weekend for a family dinner, just in the nick of time.
Cheers!
Wow! Awesome idea, thanks for sharing
simple. inexpensive. gorgeous.
Perfect for me! ;D
I’ve always needed inspiration and now I have it! Thanks so much.
That’s really beautiful and inspiring! Thanks!!
These are great, they might be perfect for my friend’s wedding.
I love it! Your table looks stunning!
I love this idea. It looks beautiful and appreciate the ideas. Thanks for following me on BlogFrog. I look forward to more posts.
innovative idea. mass production but with an individual look. works for me!
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…
Absolutely gorgeous!! This is so elegant!
Beautiful. My Aunt has been trying to figure an inexpensive centerpiece for her daughters grad party. I’m gonna toss this idea her way.
Beautiful and so simple! This would be fun to do for an upcoming spring lunch I am having…oh and Mothers day of course!
Those are gorgeous…I wish we could do fresh flowers in the house (allergies)…
these are totally cute
Beautiful table! I think I have most of the items to make a few of these, except for the blooms…Utah hasn’t had enough sunny days for flowers yet. 🙂 (And I guess I’d need an occasion too, I don’t think the kids would appreciate them)
Absolutely brilliant and so economical. Thanks for sharing.
THANKS looks really good!!
Your centerpieces are awesome! Your so lucky to have such beautiful plants in your yard that you can use for free! 😉 I think I’ll have to purchase the supplies and give this a try for my next dinner party!
Lovely! You can also stick a few toothpicks in the bottom of the candle before you stick it in the foam if you want to reclaim a bit of height. 3 or 4 toothpicks should keep it steady!
What a great idea!!
I LOVE your centerpieces! I do a lot of projects at church where I am decorating multiple tables. (And always on a shoestring.) These are awesome!
What a wonderful looking table. Those look so simple to make. Thanks for sharing.
What a neat way to dress up a table…and so easy and non expensive too..but it looks expensive!
Your table looks so pretty with your lovely little centerpieces! The yellow napkins and tablecloth really set off the little yellow flowers.
