A friend asked me to make centerpieces for an end of the year music recital so my mind started racing with ideas until she told me her budget $0-$10 mind you this was for one serving table and 30, yes 30 serving tables. That is impossible RIGHT??!!
My community is still being built so I took my WONDERFUL husband to the dumpsters and had him diving for items we could use. YES, he does think am a bit out of my mind but he plays along. I found some empty paint cans, and some Styrofoam, I guess I should say “my husband found” them. So all I had to buy were the sheets of scrapbook paper & EVERYTHING else I had just lying around.
Look what we came up with…
With the cans I covered them in paper and tied a ribbon around them. I used the big cans for the serving table and the small for each individual table.

I took and cut up the Styrofoam into rectangles, spray painted them black, added glitter, and then attached the wording.
They ended up costing me NO JOKE…...$0.25 per centerpiece. NOT BAD!!!
This turned out cute, you'd never know they cost so little. Love the combos of papers and ribbon in black and white. Styrofoam, huh? Clever!
