DIY - Bling on the Centerpieces

Here’s a pretty and budget friendly project for a table centerpiece. Add a little sparkle to your wedding day and create a dazzling floral centerpiece using glass, some beads, and fresh flowers. Take this initial idea and make it your own. These vases can be customized to any size, shape, and color. These vases make fantastic centerpieces for weddings, showers, and other celebratory occasions. Or just make one for your own pleasure and enjoyment.

Measure and cut elastic thread to a length that will encircle glass, plus several inches to tie off. Thread first group of beads on elastic thread, test for fit and tie off. Now you can pre-cut a number of pieces of thread and continue threading until vase is completely covered.

Fill vase two-thirds full with water and floral preservative. Cut stems of flowers (lisianthus are used here) to correct length so that the flowers sit just at the top of the rim of the glass. Continue until the vase is full.
