Cheap Paper Flower Centerpieces- Centerpiece Wednesday

Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday

Do you ever need to come up with a cheap centerpiece for lots of tables? I am the president of a large group of young women at our church ….The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and once a year we combine all the young Women and all the Young men for a big dinner. This year there will be between 400 to 450 youth and leaders! I needed a cheap table decoration..so I made these paper flowers (last year) in lots of bright colors to put In the middle of each table.

It is a great way to use up old tissue paper…maybe from Christmas or birthdays…keep it and use it in a new fun way..I pulled all these flowers out of storage..(large garbage sacks) and re-fluffed them and they still looked great!

This is a photo from last years dinner. I also bought rolls of wrapping paper in bright colors and cut them into rectangles to add a little more pop of color under the flowers.

I think we had 32 or 34 tables and we packed the place!

Can’t wait to see what has been the centerpiece of your week.

Karins Kottage

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!
