How To Make a 5 Minute Holiday Centerpiece
When creating holiday crafts, there's nothing more appealing to me than a quick craft with high impact. This is exactly that type of craft.
Cost: $11
Equipment
- hot glue gun (optional)
- wire cutters, such as needed nose pliers
Materials
- Vase / vessel
- 3 stems faux fuller-sized red flowers (stem should have a minimum of 5 flowers)
- 1 stem white berries beads are about 1/2 inch in diameter
- 1 4 1/2 inch styrofoam ball / sphere
- 1 roll ribbon of your choice
Instructions
- Place styrofoam ball on vase
- To cut the flowers off the stem, using wire cutters, cut flowers leaving a 2 inch stem.
- Cut white berries off stem with wire cutters, leaving a 1/2 inch wire on bead
- Insert flower on top of styrofoam ball, pressing down so flower is flush with surface.
- Working from top to bottom, add additional flowers, leaving an inch or two of space between flowers.
- Fill in the rest of the ball with the flowers, making sure there the styrofoam is not visible.
- Add the white berries sporadically around the floral ball, in between the flowers. If the wire does not go in the styrofoam easy, or if wire is cut too short, then hot glue around the bottom of the bead and press in between the flowers to adhere.
- Cut two strands of ribbon about a foot long. Lift the ball and place the ribbon in the , leaving about an 8-10 inch tale to drape outside of the vase.
