DIY: Centerpieces: Trial #2

So after a bit of re-thinking, I'm back with round #2 of my centerpieces. Here is my inspiration from Martha. Ribbon wrapped vases. I was able to find the size I wanted at Michaels for $2.99/each. The ribbon I ordered from Papermart.

In order to make things as easy as possible for us the few days before the wedding, I decided to pre-tape the vases into a grid. This will help us arrange the flowers easily. It was also a good idea so I could wrap the black ribbon over the tape.

It is definitely not perfect, but it doesn't need to be. They'll be covered with flowers so you wont even see the grid.

Here is what it looks like after the ribbon is added. I used glue dots to get the ribbon to to stick to the vase. Hot glue was too bumpy under the ribbon.

And with my lovely paper flower.
