Fabulous Centerpieces From The Kitchen

April 7| posted in - crafts, diy

Need some cool ideas for some fabulous DIY centerpieces, check these out. Instead of heading out to the craft store, open up the fridge and the pantry. Rather you’re entertaining a crowd or planning a nice casual dinner these very easy DIY centerpieces will stand out and impress.

Here’s the plan on how to put all of your old spices and salts to use as eye candy for your next dinner party and create the Spice It Up centerpiece. Make sand-art-style decorations using spices that are past their prime (most start losing flavor after a year on your shelf). Spoon or funnel spices and salts one at a time, alternating colors and textures, into glasses. Vary the height of the layers depending on the amount of each spice you have.

Need to dress up your table in seconds? The Fresh Squeezed centerpiece is as easy as one, two three. Here’s the plan: Drop some lemons and limes into clear glasses and vases— whatever you have around the house—and top with water.

Have some extra asparagus on hand? Then serve up a Veggie Garden topiaries. Just wrap the stems with aluminum foil and anchor them in a flowerpot with mixed unshelled nuts.

How cute is this? We’ve seen it jiggle for decades—finally, Jell-O gets to play a bigger role at the dinner table. To create the Wiggle Room, combine six boxes of Jell-O powder with half the amount of water specified, chill the mix in a glass vase for half an hour, then just push flowers into the semi-firm gelatin. Design your own — in any color!

So which is your favorite? I like the Fresh Squeezed, it’s so cute and easy to make.

Enjoy!
