Faux Log Vase
Make your own faux log vase simply by wrapping scrapbook paper with a bark or wood image on it around a glass vase or jar. Use double stick tape to secure the ends.
Build Your Centerpiece
Place the vase in the middle of a large wood round which can be purchased at craft stores. Piling moss around the base adds color and texture.
Adding Flowers
A soft and natural looking flower arrangement helps to offset the rustic tones and adds an elegant touch to the centerpiece.
Personalize Your Centerpiece
Using a piece of twine, tie the wood tag around the centerpiece.
Add a Table Number
Your centerpiece becomes functional with the addition of a painted wooden number which will help your guests find their seating during the reception.
Creating Ambiance
Battery operated candles placed on small birch wood rounds bring a soft glow to the centerpiece.
Finishing Touches
Place the wood round in the center of your table, cluster the candles around the centerpiece and enjoy your rustic elegant look for a lot less!
