When I was packing my bags a few weeks ago to travel out of the country for my nephew's bar mitzvah I slipped in some of my favorite crafting paper — metallic crepe paper. I thought maybe I could make a few flowers for the dessert buffet or something. Little did I know that I'd have the honor of embellishing all the arrangements for the tables! And to my great pleasure, the results, (after a bit of experimenting) though totally unplanned on my part, were stunning and so very in keeping with the style of the hall. I was so happy to have had the opportunity to make a contribution to this joyful event! (As well as the added benefit of bringing home photos of a project worthy of sharing with you.)
The nice thing about this project is that it's suited to just about any occasion, from wedding to holiday dinner. And a few of these arrangements placed on a buffet or entryway table would be very festive as well as elegant.
You'll Need:
- a glass vase
- glass ice cubes or marbles
- fall fruit, such as apples and plums
- a candle that will sit in the mouth of the vase
- metallic ribbon
- metallic crepe paper in silver and gold
- floral wire
- small beaded trim
