Homemade Fall Center Peice
I got my inspiration from nearly passing out at my local home decor store. You heard that right! The floral arrangements and centerpieces are just so beautiful, but the price tags will literally take your breath away. I know there are some who will pay that price, but not this girl. Frugal is my middle name.
This year skip the florist and craft this pro-looking centerpiece yourself with fall flowers, burlap from your favorite local craft store. Gather all your supplies - listed below
Cut the roll of burlap down the middle lengthwise to create to proportion sized widths. Measure around your glass vase (you can use any glass vase you wish!) with the burlap. Add an extra 1 inch on cutting your strip. You will need a little overlap to use with the hot glue gun.
To make life easy, use a pencil to make your mark on the burlap of where you want to cut the burlap
With hot glue gun, tack burlap into place around the glass vase. You don’t necessarily have to glue the burlap to the vase itself. I didn’t because I change it up seasonally with different colors.
Take my 3-4 strands a raffia and wrap around the middle the burlap ribbon on your vase, and tie it in a bow.
Once done cutting the flowers, it’s now time to join them together! Grab 3 different variety colored flowers. With wire cutters, cut a 24″ piece of beading wire for the starting process. Wrap the wire tightly around the stems of the grouping of flowers (at least 6 – 7 times). Then, by alternating your colored flowers, add a grouping of two flowers beneath your beginning bunch.
Place the vase into your flower ring, and you’re all done!
