We had a some great participation for 

Centerpiece Wednesday this past week and I thought I would share some of my 

favorites with you. 

Thanks to everyone who participated, visited everyone and just had fun with it. 

I love that we are branching out as to what is a "Centerpiece" 
I feel it can be anything you have been working on..whether it is a new recipe, craft, home decorating project or even a fun and unique centerpiece idea! I look forward to seeing more of your "Centerpiece" projects in the weeks to come.

I loved this unique cake stand idea from Nifty Thrifty  so original!!

Or how about this fabulous clock that Christina from Kaleidoscope Living painted in this fun Peacock Blue color! Love Love Love this!

I also loved this gorgeous Blue sea Shell blue centerpiece using Christmas ornaments that A Cottage in the Clouds put together. So creative to use Christmas ornaments in a Beachy tablescape! 

I guess I am very attracted to blue as I have chosen 3 blue "Centerpiece" participants haha I really am amazed at this light fixture made from Paint stir sticks!! 

Kimberly over at Serendipity Refined has a great tutorial on how to make this fabulous light fixture and sooo dang cheap!!

There were so many amazing ideas ...so if you haven't had a chance to look at all of them head over HERE to Centerpiece Wednesday and look around...you will find some incredibly talented ladies. 

Be sure to come back and be ready to link up again to Centerpiece Wednesday this week!

What do you do when you have to come up with a centerpiece for 37 tables with no budget? First you freak out, panic a little and then you walk into your craft room and see mountains of tissue paper and wrapping paper left over from Christmas and a light bulb goes off in your head.....I think I  can make some magic using this crumpled up used tissue paper and wrapping paper!!  My amazing daughter Madeline whom you might remember did the Dr. Suess Baby shower here had recently made some gorgeous paper flowers for her daughter bedroom as decoration like the ones here on Martha Stewart's website. Madeline showed me how to make them in like 2 mintues and voila!! I made 37 paper flowers and they really looked fabulous on the tables. I also used some lime green wrapping paper that I bought from Tai Pan on clearance for that little added color in the center of each table.

To decorate a large gym filled with 37 round tables use bold bright color...as much as you can.

Let me know if any of you have other ideas like this....I am going to need them. 

Thanks,

Karin

ALL PHOTOS ARE FROM BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS WEBSITE. THEY SHOW HOW TO MAKE THESE BEAUTIFUL CENTERPIECES ON THEIR SITE.

I love this idea of using corn husks to form a wreath and then placing a beautiful

bowl filled with fruit in the middle for a stunning centerpiece.

This beauty is made from marigolds but you could use carnations or button mums. Click on the name of the centerpiece to go to the directions.

My inlinkz thing is not working :( I will try later..their website is down or something.
