...sweetheart center piece tutorial

...hello my sweets!

today I will be sharing with you,

a very simple tutorial of an

oh-so-lovely

rose heart center piece!!

with nothing more than a few supplies,

you too, can make one of these rose centerpieces!

So lets get started.

here is a list of what you will need:

* a container ~ I have chosen to use this glass heart,

  

* a ring of floral foam ~ much easier to cut and shape into my heart than the ususal blocks

* a bouquet of flowers that make your heart flutter with joy

I chose these sweetheart, pink blush roses

I purchased the glass heart, floral foam ring and candles from

the Dollar Tree store!

~ and the sweet blush roses came from my Wal-mart store

who knew??

lol!!

* step one: soak your foam in a bowl of warm water

with the flower additive powder you get with your flower bouquet.

you may have to put something on top until it absorbs enough water

and not just float!

*step two: start by cutting your foam with a sharp knife

pieces to fit snuggly into your heart

*step three: start shaping your centerpiece by snipping your flowers down

and pushing the stems into the foam

filling in as you go,

until you are pleased with the shape and fullness

and Voila!!

a heart you can truely adore!!

I added the two blush colored candles on each side,

and tied them with pieces of pink silk 

and embellished them with more vintage earring bling!

placed them all on top of this pretty footed silver tray

and smiled at the results!!

now all I need are some pretty tasty morsels!!

...and I just couldn't resist ~ 

this next pic is for Rhonda

I call this

"post card from Paris"

hint, hint

LOL!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you will be inspired

to create a sweetheart centerpiece for your very own:)
