DIY: Paper Flower Centerpieces {Part 2}


After I had finished making all the paper flowers for the other centerpieces, Andrew and I realized we had only made enough for half of the centerpieces. We knew it would take way too long to make enough paper flowers to have all the same centerpieces for the 14 tables, so we decided to make a second type for half of the tables. These centerpieces take WAY less time but I think they look beautiful! Here is how you make them!

You Will Need:

-Paper (We used cardstock from Micheal's)
-Hot Glue
-Jars
-Spray Paint
-Ribbon
-Scissors
-Sand
-5" Styrofoam balls

Instructions:

1) Make the flowers. We made about 300 of these paper flower roses. You can find the tutorial on how to make them here.

2) Spray paint jars desired colour (Andrew did this for me) and fill the jars with sand. We did this since we thought the flowers would make the centerpieces top-heavy and we didn't want them to tip over.

3) Hot glue the styrofoam ball to the top of the jar.

4)Tie the ribbon under the ball

5) Stick the paper flowers into the styrofoam until it is cover in flowers

These centerpieces are MUCH faster than the other ones. I am really glad we decided to go with two different kinds instead of spending a ton more time on the first type.
