How to Make an Elegant Ceterpiece from Dollar Store Items
- 1). Purchase a shallow basket, a foam ball, sticky ribbon bows, artificial flowers and a spool of ribbon. You can find small decorative items like this at most dollar stores.
- 2). Cut the foam ball in half using a craft knife or a kitchen knife with a serrated edge. Place it flat side down and insert the stiff stems of the artificial flowers, leaving about two inches of stem protruding from the foam ball. Insert enough flowers that the foam ball is not visible.
- 3). Wrap a piece of ribbon around the outside lip of the basket. Place a staple through the ribbon and into the basket every 3 inches. Place a sticky ribbon bow over each staple around the lip of the basket to conceal the staples.
- 4). Place the half foam circle in the basket with the flat side down. The flowers will take a pleasant dome shape in the basket, creating an attractive centerpiece.
