I'm organizing a 40th wedding anniversary party for my parents and needed short pretty centerpieces.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Silk Fabric Flower
  • Vase
  • Shreds Foil
  • Stone (s)
  • Wired Ribbon
  • Wire Cutters

Steps (7 steps, 7 minutes)

  1. 1

    First I started with short vases. Since I wanted people to be able to see each other across the tables, the centerpieces had to be short.

  2. 2

    Then I stuffed the vases with the foil shreds to make them mostly full.

  3. 3

    Then I put in several on the stones into the bottom of the vases.

  4. 4

    Then I clipped the flowers off the bigger stems and pulled the leaves off.

  5. 5

    I floral taped the shorter stems to some of the larger ones so they wouldn't go to far down into the vase.

    No pic for that just more flowers!

  6. 6

    Then I arranged the flowers the vases, trying to get the red one in the middle.

  7. 7

    Last Step!

    Wrap a ribbon around the top of the vase and tie it on. Pretty!
