[@CindyShapa59]

Okay okay, look my son is getting married later this month. He will have something like 12 tables. My future DIL wanted fresh flowers. If this diy cost $50 dollars to make, it would be a bargain. The cost of the table settings is so expensive, my son mentioned thousands of dollars. Yeah, it uses a lot of stuff but get the bride and her girls working on it. Include the moms and an aunt or two and some wine and food and it’s a party to make centerpieces. Call a bonding moment.

[@cassnot3710]

Thank you so much for not only giving instructions but also where to purchase the items. A rarity on Hometalk.

[@raelynearnest3176]

Fairy lights could be incorporated into this. Pretty!!

[@RLaraMoore]

That did come out very pretty! It occurs to me that this base of "box" at the bottom and the two paper towel holders above, would make a good Jewelry Holder. Maybe add hooks to the upper rim to hang necklaces off off, and instead of mirrors and frames at the base, use a box of compartments or miniature drawers for rings and bracelets? And perhaps a tray between the box and the bottom rim of the paper towel holder to hold loose pieces of jewelry ready to use or not yet put away.

Yes!! Great idea- I also made mine look like a topiary buy adding some sticks ( from my yard😂)

[@teresap.5991]

I bought a Dollar tree utensil holder the silver just like the paper towel holder and I use it to keep my scrub brushes for dishes in the center and then the sides I used to stick my sponges in and they stay in perfectly so they can dry between uses and not get mold buildup. It's like a sponge tree. Works great!

I agree. More beads all around.

And use thread, not wire. The thread would hang straight down. The wire bends and the beads don't look good.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Very nice idea! Love that with a few adjustments you can switch this up to fit any season, it can be casual or dressy. This would make a lovely wedding on a budget centerpiece. You could pick foliage to match the colors for your wedding and dress your table beautifully. Poinsettias come in several colors so it would be easy to match your Christmas decor and have a couple of these on your dining table or if doing a buffet, one on each end of the buffet. The ideas are endless!

[@kd4036]

Fishing line would make beads a little more dangly instead of so stiff looking with the wire. Great idea though, thanks for sharing.

[@kristen1245]

Great tip with the fishing wire!

[@savvydesignsbydena3179]

You can buy a different type made just for jewelry. It's better than the fishing line. In fact it's much better. You can't tie your ends with fishing line it would be a hassle to get a clean polished look. I used e-6000 instead of the zip ties on this as well. Sure you wait overnight but those zip tie ends BUG me. I also added fairy lights with fairies 🧚‍♀️ around looks STUNNING. ✨️

[@triciaosborn8093]

You craft elegantly and I appreciate that. You actually UPCYCLED dollar tree items by HOW you put them all together. So many try to make dollar tree items look glam by using more and more tacky items. Here you really executed this so well. Great job!

[@lindagoins4192]

That is a gorgeous piece of art!!! Going to have to do this one!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!

[@tinap8955]

This is very pretty. I tend to decorate only for Autumn and Halloween and I can see how I could very easily change this up for that time of year. The flowers could be fall colors and maybe some crystal spiders handing from the dangles. I think a couple of spider webs made from crystals and wire would look really cute attached to the center metal rods. Heck this idea could be used for whatever your favorite holiday or season is. Thanks for sharing.

[@franjaworski1147]

Where do you get Crystal spiders or do you make them also? Great idea to add more dangles!

@@franjaworski1147 Hi, I haven't made a final decision on the spiders as I'm more in the brain storming - planning phase. But, I plan on making my own. I have seen a couple of tutorials online for them. I will also probably look at dollar stores, Amazon, Oriental Trading, etc to see what they have to offer.

Just put the battery pack in the pot and wind the lights up either scattered patterns or around and around. Best to end at top. Then I add a cute little figurine bee/butterfly if I can't get the end of the wire to go in. I have also added bows seasonally around the steel part. Just butting in here. Pardon me!!

[@lisaroth8751]

I figured the TOTAL COST to be around $24.00...so much for a $1.00 project!

Lol, I agree. That $1 project sure added up fast. To begin with, everything is at least $1.25 now,...so 2 stands, 4 frames, 4 mirrors, all that styrofoam, then the beads, the flowers. And then, the candle holders and votives. Lol...yeah, what a bargain. And Robinjuneable....this is not disrespectful,...it's HONEST.

[@MrAsingh1989]

Oh wow! I appreciate your creativity. Your centrepiece is an absolute eye-catching masterpiece and extremely beautiful. This looks like an expensive piece of decor found at stores like HOME-SENSE(a pricey and fancy decor store) here in Canada. Whenever you have a chance, is there any way that you please post a tutorial/demo video on a ‘fancy’ Kleenex tissue box dispenser that can be made with all sorts of easily accessible crafting items and DOLLAR-TREE “knickknacks” (EXAMPLE: beads, stickers mirrors and glass gems, picture frames, fake flowers, whatever comes to your creative mind), and that adds A expensive-looking finish to the coffee table. The cardboard dispenser that holds the Kleenex tend to get smushed, damaged, accidentally sat on, stepped on and shoved around. A demo for a sturdy refillable box can be a perfect addition to the type of content you post and it will: • serve as a beautiful piece of decor on a coffee table, that looks “high-end” and expensive. • function as a sturdy box to contain tissues •do a better job keeping dust out of the tissues. •the tissue box will stay in one designated spot instead of being moved here and there. I checked in many local decor stores and online, they are expensive and do not even look good for the price tag. Thank you once again for sharing this demonstration.

[@Y2Ksurvivor276]

If you want your box square, you'll need to alternate inside outside with the edge of each frame. The frame she made is slightly oblong.

[@tiffanyberwynunger8756]

That's so funny that you saw this too. I was so confident that she was going to do the inside-outside thing that I had to take second to see if there would be some logic or reasoning behind her setup that I wasn't immediately seeing.

[@Lunarisa1971]

If your table is rectangular then this rectangular shape works but your absolutely correct if you want square. I thought the same myself.

You’re already at 11 items ($13.75) not counting the flowers or the TWO paper towel holders or ALL of the hot glue you used. This is easily a $30 project when it’s all said and done.

I agree. However it's kinda really irritating to me hearing everything people have to say about the dollar tree raising prices. Does it suck? Sure does. But think of it this way, how often do you see prices raised in other stores? Grocery store, Walmart etc constantly, but dollar tree has been in business for a long time and has never once raised prices, so I don't know about you but I'd rather take a 25 cents increase once every 20 years rather than every few months? It's crazy how they're totally upfront and honest about it with their customers and there's so much backlash!? I don't see everyone bashing the grocery store each time milk goes up another dollar a gallon? Just saying, sometimes it's merely about perspective.
