Table Decorations Centerpieces
The centerpiece must fit the occasion and meet the requirements of
the table setting either formal or informal. Centerpieces should
be low enough to see over, but high enough at the bottom to leave
table space beneath it.
Dried Flower Basket
Use dried leaves, roses, strawflowers, oats and seed pods
Group each type of flower and plant in a cluster. Add shells,
pinecones, nuts and berries. Cut a piece of floral foam taller
than height of basket base. Trim to fit basket width.
Thread spooled wire though bottom of basket base so wire ends come up
on either side of floral foam twist ends of wire together over floral
foam and tuck in any excess. Start arrangement in center of foam
so top of bloom in about 1" below handle of basket. Insert
dried material at each end of basket's shallow sided and at each
handle end. Fill completly so no foam is visible.
Floral Centerpiece Arrangements

minutes.
Prepare flowers by removing lower leaves on each stem

Christmas Centerpiece.
You need Circle of corrugated cardboard.

Large Green or Red Pillar Candle for middle
Different sizes of pinecones. Unshelled different sizes of nuts. Assemble with
hot glue gun, and then spray with varnish. ( I place mine on a round Pizza
pan) Add sprays of holly, berries and baby breath etc. I also do the same
thing with a piece of birch log that I have my husband drill a hole in the
middle for the candle.
Long Centerpiece
Use Oblong Shape Container

a flower to establish height then fill in arrangement with plants.

roses, tulips lady's mantel
