Adoreable and affordable centerpieces

This week on Style Me Pretty, they are featuring great DIY projects. While browsing the site, I fell in love with these centerpieces that is partially made out of toilet paper rolls! Can you believe it? How affordable can they be, and they can be as elegant as you want to make them. Trade in the clay pots for some more elegant vases. How can you go wrong with damask! I think for the purpose of the wedding, it may not be fitting to our theme. But we can definitely make this a centerpiece for the bridal shower.

For directions of how to make these yourself:

Materials

Clay Pots
Black & White Spray Paint (or whatever color you like)
Branches of varying size and height
Rocks
Cardboard Toilet Paper Rolls
Fabric cut to fit rolls
Hole Punch
Wire
Fabric Glue
Decorative Ornaments like feather boa, gems, beads, etc.
Silk Orchids or other Silk Flowers
Green Moss or other flowers

Instructions

1. Spray paint the bottom of a clay pot black, or whatever color you choose. Once dry paint the top portion a difference color.

2. Collect branches to put in your pots. I just cut branches from a tree in our yard and used one large branch per pot.

3. Fill the pot with rocks to help secure the tree branch.

4. Create the toilet paper ornaments.

• Cut a swatch of fabric that will cover the toilet paper roll. Don’t worry about getting all the way to the top and bottom because your accessories will cover it.
• Once you have the fabric on the roll, punch two small holes in the top of the roll, one on each side. Then thread wire or string thru the holes to create a way to hang it.
• Glue beads to the bottom of the roll.
• Glue a small boa to the top.

5. Gems - Collect gems with holes in the top to hang from your branches. I purchased my gems from Michael’s and then thread clear wire or string through them.

6. Glue orchids randomly on the branches.

7. Finally, fill the pot with flowers to cover the rocks.
