How- to: DIY Centerpieces with Wrapping Paper

Centerpieces don't need to be over-the-top to be super stylish wedding day details. Here's a really simple way to personalize your arrangements with some of your favorite wrapping paper.

Materials:
Glass vases (Use what you have, Nope,they don't need to all be the same!)
Wrapping paper (we love the double-sided paper from smockpaper.com
Glu dots
Ribbon

Steps for a Full Wrap Treatment
Step 1:Measure paper around the vase. Leave about 1" on the neck for a ribbon treatment.
Step 2:Cut the paper. Adhere one edge of the paper to the glass with glue dots. Wrap the other side around and secure with more glue dots.
Step 3:Cover the top rough edges with a grosgrain ribbon.

Steps for a Middle Band Treatment
Step 1:Measure paper around the vase.
Step 2:Cut first band to measure 5", second to measure 3.5".
Step 3:Stick first wrap to the vessel with glue dots. Layer on the 3" band,again using glue dots.
Step 4:Top it off with ribbon treatment.

Hi -

My name is Bethany Marcello, and I write for the yet-to-be-launched Craftfoxes.com - a crafting and social networking site.We're putting together some great stuff for our upcoming launch, featuring everything from quilting to sewing to crafting and baking.

Our writer came across this picture of the DIY Centerpieces with Wrapping Paper and was wondering if you would grant us permission to use it? We'd give you a link to your site.

Thanks for your consideration!
