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.
