Easter Table Candle Wreath Centrepiece...

 

So this year I had a request for an Easter table centrepiece project instead of the usual small treat packages we make...

And here is the result... a spring themed decorated wreath for a candle ... perfect in the middle of my table... I love the finished result... though TBH... a lot of sighs and swearing were heard along the way... with a lot of searching for old retired items that I know would do certain jobs!

So I knew I wanted to make the "daffodils" from Kusudama flowers  - which I used previously for a home decor project back in 2018... and I think they worked great... using various ( and any!) yellow past colour collection papers I could find (cut down to 3"squares) Finished off with retired Classy Designer buttons...

I was going to make paper cherry blossom flowers too... but then I remembered the gorgeous flowers in the long retired Indescribable Gift stamp set... and it seemed rude not to use them! Even though it took me a LONG time to find my stamps!! Coloured with Light Bubble Bath Stampin Blends and using the Color Lifter to spread it out for uber-paleness! See here for how I added dimension to the flowers...

I also have had the speckled white eggs for years... they were great as they have a little hole in the bottom that just popped onto the greenery with no further adhesive required. Likewise with the pale coloured foam eggs (cheap foam ones care of Home Bargains, B&M or Poundland or somewhere) also just popped on...

I also added a little nest bought from Yorkshire Trading this year... - plus 3 speckled eggs - but which I seemed to forget to photo...

Then some current products got some action!! 

Painted Lavender single lavender sprays inked up in Highland Heather "thumped" with a Gorgeous Grape marker pen 

And a couple of Paper Butterfly Accents butterflies to finish things off (with lots of Basics Jewel Rhinestones bling!)

Window Box Table Decoration & Lotus Napkin Fold

So what else can you do with your Window Box hexagon light boxes... click here for the original posting with Flickavision if you are on a PC!

Simply add them to a Lotus Folded napkin for your place setting... I am so doing this this Christmas for my table!! Time to treat myself to new napkins though... as would be even easier with stiffer napkins...

This Lotus napkin fold is so quick & easy...  So much so I can still actually remember how to do it!!! So we did a quick bit of napkin folding in class this week...

Re-arrange your display to your hearts content!

I wasn't sure what shape our table would be on our Special 18th Birthday Celebration evening...so I just had to!! 

Unfortunately on the night none of these would have worked so they became place settings instead... 

And I was gutted that we arrived too too late on the evening for me to do a quick mass napkin folding session... as that would have been so cool for our table display! Late care of the 18 year old I hasten to add....

Eighteenth Birthday Table Centrepiece

When you have a special event... you need a big table centrepiece! The crystal base being about 15" high...

Now I am no flower arranger... and I won't bore you with all the problems that this simple arrangement caused me... it was just supposed to be a simple half-hour!!!...

But I thought I would share it in any case...

But hey it looked great on the night... though I did swich a few things at the last minute... but more on that another day!
