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

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
