The Finished Centerpeice

Here is what it looks like completely finished. I love them...but not sure all the work is worth the few pennies saved. Although, they are way cuter than the store bought pop-up centerpieces!



The containers are metal ice cream containers that I covered with paper. I painted the floral spikes for the characters and used hot glue to fix the sticks to the paper piecings. I used floral foam inside the container to stick the spike into. The A's and 2's are on floral wire so they bobble a little...the wire was wound around a pencil to give it the curly-q effect. Then, tissue paper was used to fill the space at the top of the containers and hide the ugly floral foam. Characters were cut with the Sesame Street Friends cartridge. The A's and 2's were cut using the Mickey Font cartridge.

This is the first one that is finished...3 more to go before the end of the day. All the pieces are cut out...now just time to assemble. I think, even after all the procrastination, I will get them done on time.
