Instructions:
Alright, the 4th of July has come and gone… But wait! Don’t pack up the 4th of July decorations yet… Enjoy them for about another month, combined with some of your red and white Christmas decorations, along with some Dollar Tree flowers and Hobby Lobby picks & sprays! This tutorial is to give you an idea of what you can do with what YOU have on hand already. I’ve used a combination of what I have on hand already, scraps, Dollar Tree, and Hobby Lobby items in this project. As a final touch, we will add 2 lighted Bowdabra Bows to this floral tablescape/centerpiece!
Whichever version of this tutorial you may want to make, just remember there is one rule… You’re making a centerpiece. Run everything you use down the center of the table, balancing out both sides.
The first version of this tablescape I make is used with one-of-a-kind driftwood… But, you can simulate the same look with an elongated driftwood log. The 2nd version is made on a strip of chicken wire. There is minimal hot glue used in the first version and no hot glue used in the second version. Hope you find this idea helpful and enjoy this lighted Bowdabra centerpiece project!
