This centerpiece is great for a Tea Party themed shower, rehearsal dinner, or even a whimsical wedding. It's easy to do, any teapot will do! You can get a lot of different teapots from the local Thrift Store and have every table with another teapot, and still save money over the traditional glass vases.
What you need:
- a teapot (or how every many tables you have)
- a spool of wire
- a bunch of silk or real flowers
- round ended needle nosed plyers
- card stock to match your chosen colors*
- a marker, caligraphy pen or number stamps**
Start with your flowers. Bunch them up and stick them into your teapot, as you would a vase. Easy Peasy! You can stop here, or you can continue to add table numbers, as pictured.
Next, cut a length of wire, for your table number.
Using your needle nosed plyers, bend and end into a spiral, or alternately, any shape... hearts and spirals work best. Then stick the wire for down into your bunch of flowers.
Now, you are ready to add your table number card. I just used a magic marker and wrote the numbers on a ripped peice of card stock. If you like, you can use rubber number stamps, or even print them from your computer. There are a lot of templates for table number signs, that are pretty neat, on the web.
You can also find a variation of this over at C(oi)n:purse, that is pretty cute, too!
