How To Make a Blue and Purple Wedding Centerpiece

Directions:

STEP 1: The first thing we are going to do is start with the base. Take your foam cube and place it in your square candleholder about half way in. Insert your birch branch inside of your foam cube.

Now remove your birch branch and apply hot glue. Re-insert your birch branch and push your foam cube in your glass candleholder a little further so that only about a third of an inch is out. Let it to sit for 15 minutes.

STEP 2: Cut a circle out of the center of your half foam dome with a foam cutter . The circle needs to be big enough to fit over your birch branch. Place your foam dome over your birch branch. Your foam dome should fit nicely over your square candle holder.

Attach your foam ball to your birch branch

STEP 3: Make an indention in your foam ball by placing your foam ball on your birch branch. Remove your foam ball and then add hot glue to your birch branch. Now attach your foam ball to your birch branch making sure it is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches on your branch.

STEP 4: Apply cream paint to your birch branch using a sponge paintbrush. The paint will make your branch stand out. But if you like the more rustic look of the branch, you do not need to add paint to it.

STEP 5: Due to the density of your foam half dome, it is a little more difficult to insert your plastic flower stems. So what I am going to do is prior to inserting the flowers, I will open a floral pin and use that to poke my holes. This makes it easier to insert your flowers.

To start, I am going to attach 12-16 purple dahlias. Next I will attach 4-6 eggplant or purple hydrangea blossoms. Finally, fill in the remaining spaces with teal tea roses and eucalyptic leaves.
