Fairy Party Centerpieces
We had a fabulous Fairy Garden party to celebrate my daughter’s 4th birthday! Â From the invitations from Shutterfly, to the Pixie Dusted shirt I made with my Silhouette, to the touches of Tinkerbell, our 4 year old Fairy Party was perfect! Â I created these whimsical centerpieces from items I had at home….with the purple and green color scheme that we had for the party.
Fairy Party Centerpieces
Supplies:
*Terra Cotta flower pot
*styrofoam cubes
*dowel rods
*ribbons
*acrylic paint
*hot glue
*artificial grass, flowers, butterflies {I found mine at the Dollar Tree}
Directions:
1. Â Paint your dowel rods with a bright green acrylic paint. Â Allow it to dry. Â Once it is dry, brush on some layers of glitter paint, such as the DecoArt Glamour Dust or Craft Twinkles. Â Martha Stewart Glitter paint will work as well.
2. Â Cut a small piece of styrofoam to fit in the bottom of your flower pot. Â This is what you will use to hold the dowel rods in the flower pot.
3. Â Cut some ribbon to various lengths. Â Begin gluing the ribbon and artificial butterflies and flowers around the top of your dowel rod. Â Put the ribbons on first. Â Then, add the butterflies and flowers.
4. Â Using hot glue, secure some coordinating grosgrain ribbon to the edge of the flowerpot and add another artificial flower or butterfly.
5. Â Arrange your dowel rods in your styrofoam at the bottom of the flower pot. Cover with artificial moss or grass.
After I created these, I also used my colorful tins from Pick Your Plum to make smaller butterfly gardens. Â I used craft sticks instead of dowel rods, and placed them in various areas of the party-on the tables, cake table, etc.
How do you create special favors or decorations for your children’s parties? Â I couldn’t believe how sweet and adorable these turned out! Â I think I’m going to use them in her room as accents, too!
So pretty, they put a smile on my face immediately.
