This cheap glamorous centerpiece is amazing! Once you see the finished product and then realize it was made out of mostly recycled, free or cheap materials you’ll be inspired.
1) Spray paint the bottom of a clay pot black, or whatever color you choose. Once dry paint the top rim a difference color.
2) Collect branches to put in your pots. I just cut branches from a tree in our yard and used one large branch per pot.
3) Fill the pot with rocks to help secure the tree branch.
4) Create the toilet paper ornaments by cutting a swatch that will cover the toilet paper roll. Don’t worry about getting all the way to the top and bottom because your accessories will cover it up. Once you have glued the fabric to the roll, punch two small holes in the top of the roll, one of each side and then thread wire or string through the holes as a way to hang it. Finally, glue beads to the bottom and add a small boa to the top – or whatever trimming accessories you choose. (fringe, ribbon, etc)
5) Collect gems with holes in the top to hang from the branches. You can find gems at Michaels and other craft or bead stores. Then thread with clear string or wire and hang from the branches.
6) Glue orchids randomly on the branches and finally, cover the top of the pot with flowers or moss to cover the rocks.
Have fun!
