Place Table Sparkle

 
Here is a quick and easy way to sparkle up the dinner table.
 

 
The sparkle band has an adhesive back on it that I purchased from Michaels. Measure and cut the length you need.
 
 
You can use any flowers that you like. If you want to mix it up, use tea lights in some of them.

Flower Arrangement in a Cupcake



 





 
For this arrangement I found a plastic cupcake holder and tiered cupcake plate in the dollar store. To start the arrangement place some wet foam into the cupcake holder and tape down with floral tape.

 
I bought a package of miniature carnations. That is all you need, you don't need to get any greens with this arrangement.
 
 
Start by inserting the mini carns. into the side of the foam.
 
 
Go all around inserting the carns as you go.

 
Fill any gaps that you missed.



 
Put the birthday candles on top. I think it is quite cute.

Table Arrangement With Glitter and Glam


 
Place wet foam into container. Tape with floral tape.
 
 
When inserting greenery, take off the bottom needles.

 
Start inserting Christmas greenery into the foam.

 
Insert the greenery until it looks full.

 
I used shoe Christmas ornaments.

 
Insert pinecones, snowflake ornaments and mini Christmas balls.

 
The bigger Christmas balls, you can insert a skewer in the hanger.

 
With the shoes, I inserted the skewer into the hanger too.
 
 
I chose not to use any flowers in this arrangement, only glittery and shiny ornaments, but you sure could if you wanted.

New Years Eve Table Arrangement


 
Put wet foam into a container of your choice and floral tape it onto the container. I used wet foam because I used fresh greenery.

 
Use Christmas greens and insert them into the foam.

 
Keep inserting the greens until it is full.
 
 
I bought the mask at Halloween when all the costumes were selling in the stores. The Christmas balls are small and I wanted them the same color as the mask.
 
 
Floral tape a wood skewer and hot glue onto the mask.

 
Insert the skewer with the mask into the wet foam.
 
 
Fill the rest of the container with whatever you like to put in. I used the purple Christmas balls (attaching 3 at a time), snowflake ornaments, pinecones, and a touch of red just to set off the purple color.

 
To finish it, I tied a purple ribbon onto the container.

Feather Christmas Tree Centerpiece

 
This feather tree centerpiece is so easy to make. You could make them in different sizes for the table or mantle and they look so pretty.
 
 
To make, all you need is a Styrofoam cone, a feather boa, and a jewelled strap. I purchased everything from Michaels.
 
 
The band has adhesive on the back but you will also need to use stick pins.

 
Wrap the boa around the cone and use stick pins where needed. It's that easy!

Christmas Flower Arrangement With Lights

 

You will need two bowls, one bigger than the other one.

 
You can see how the one fits into the other bowl.

 
You need to make sure that the second bowl with the lights do not get wet.

 
The lights take 3 AA batteries and the church is a tree ornament.

 
Cut up wet foam and fill the first bowl with water. Set the smaller bowl on top and tape using floral tape.
 
 
The lights with battery are in the smaller bowl with NO water. Put evergreens in foam.


 
Place in carnation, roses, mini carnation,
 pinecones, snowflake ornaments.
 

 
Pick the snowflake ornaments and tape.
