For this project, you will need the bottom part of a cheese box (about 11 1/2" in diameter). What matters is the glass globe you are using matches the diameter of the box you choose.

An alternative to the Phillips Hue Go would be battery-powered lights of your choosing.

You'll also need a

1. glass globe (mine was about 10" wide at the opening),
2. silk flowers
3. hot glue
4. wire cutters
5. spray paint
6. Phillips Hue Go

I used 6 bunches of artificial hydrangea. Use the wire cutters to cut the flowers from the stems. Don't cut individual flowers, they need to remain in clusters. Cut off the leaves as well.

The first step is to turn the cheese box over and paint. I chose this copper color paint. Let this dry before moving on to the next step. The underside will be the top of the centerpiece

Start hot gluing the clusters of flowers towards the top of the box (which is actually the bottom). You'll want them to extend past the top. The clusters can touch but don't try to fill every space in at this point.

Once flowers are glued around the perimeter, go back and fill in with more flower clusters and leaves so that the glued stems are hidden.

To assemble the centerpiece turn the Hue Go on and select the color scheme you want. Since my flowers are purple, I had the light move from pink to purple, then center the Hue Go on the overturned cheese box.

Add the glass globe over the Hue Go making sure it is centered on the cheese box.

I added some green moss, but it can be left without anything at the bottom.

The centerpiece looked great on the table. One of the good things about this type of arrangement is it can be changed to match a holiday, special occasion, or season just by changing out the flowers and lighting color pattern.

The cost for this will vary based on what you have and what you have to buy. I didn't buy anything extra for this as I used what I had. The cost estimate would be if you had to buy everything.
