A sunflower will make a bright and cheerful centerpiece.
A centerpiece is the perfect decorative element to adorn your table and bring together a theme for a special event or meal. Flowers are a traditional mealtime decoration, but instead of the usual vase of flowers, opt for a more elaborate centerpiece. Sunflowers are a colorful and vibrant option that will make a lovely centerpiece any time of the year, and creating the centerpiece with artificial silk flowers will give you a centerpiece you can use again and again.
Instructions
1. Gather all of your crafting supplies together before starting your centerpiece project. Check out your local craft supply store for an array of and decorative additives to make a one-of-a-kind centerpiece. According to Proflowers.com, sunflowers come in a variety of sizes and colors ranging from a vibrant yellow to a rich red, so choose blooms that best suit your size and color needs.
2. Create a sturdy base that will serve both as a sturdy foundation and a stylish part of the overall centerpiece. Silk Flower Smart.com recommends using blocks of floral foam or Styrofoam cut to fit within a container such as a bowl or a decorative box and gluing them in place.
3. Cut the silk flower stems down to a manageable size so you can arrange them by plunging the stems into the foam blocks. Be sure to add enough flowers to ensure that no foam is showing through and taking away from the attractive aesthetic of the centerpiece.
4. Add other decorative elements to give the centerpiece more flair. Tie a ribbon around the base of the container or some rustic-looking raffia. Include extra silk flowers to fill in blank space or items such as feathers or leaves, depending on the themed look you are creating.
