Ocean Themed Party Centerpiece

Can you imagine a crossing the Red Sea centerpiece running down the length of your table? My stand up waves, that you can place in one line, or two, with little figures in between the 2 rows, are super simple to whip up, and even better, you can certainly save them for at least a few years! The first time I made these stand up waves they were quite simply silver, and I only realized that I could add some sea creatures to them last year, which I just love, especially since it makes it more festive and fun for the kids! Of course if you'd rather not have waves running down your table for Passover, this is certainly a great idea for an ocean themed birthday party, or any party for that matter. You could add just about anything to the waves, like numbers or letters or surfers, or water skiers, or ? So have fun with this one, and if you don't quite have time for it this Passover, keep it in mind for next year! Then again, send someone to the art supply store to get you some corragated silver craft cardboard, or even just heavy weight silver cardstock in large sheets, and truly you can cut out the waves in 15 minutes, and then next year you can add the sea creatures! Okay, lets do this!

You'll Need:

• corragated light weight craft cardboard in metallic silver, or metallic silver cardstock weight paper in large sheets, or what ever you have on hand!
• watercolor sea creatures, my tutorial here
• scissors and craft glue

How To:

1. Make stand up waves by folding your paper in half and simply cutting out wave shapes, with the tips of the waves attached to the other size as shown. If your cardboard in light weight like mine, short segments of about 20" are recommended otherwise getting them to stand up might be more difficult. Do a test and see, you can always cut your waves into smaller segments if necessary.
2. Adhere the sea creatures to the waves with craft glue or hot glue.
3. Use as a centerpiece, especially on the 7th day of Passover when we celebrate the splitting of the Red Sea!
4. Pack away with the Passover dishes to enjoy again next year!

So fun and so many ways to use these waves!

Hope you enjoyed this new take on Passover decorations, and why not get out the shell collection to boot, I did!
