Table Setting & Centre Pieces

Cluster Centre pieces are very much in fashion these days. Here is an idea on “how to think out of the box”.

Boxes topped with flowers make a beautiful centerpiece; a table number is embroidered onto ribbon encircling the largest box.

Inside, the stems sit in water bottles stabilized by crumpled paper. Favor boxes, which contain nonpareils, double as place cards.

Tools and Materials
Gift paper (enough to wrap around lid and overlap slightly)
Small boxes
Double-sided tape
Flowers of choice
Utility knife,
Plastic flower tube
Nonpareils (chocolate disks or small sweets)

Flower Boxes How-To
1. Tape paper around edge of box lid.
2. Using a utility knife, cut an opening in the center of the lid.
3. Cut off top of flower tube so it's just shorter than box. Add a bit of water to tube.
Insert flowers into tube; insert tube into lid.
4. Fill box with nonpareils (leave room for flower tube); close box.
