A Festive Centerpiece

Looking for a easy centerpieces that will WOW your guests this holiday season? Well look no further. This Candy Cane Centerpiece was designed by one of our previous Interns for her new job. It was so cute that we had to share it!


Material Required:


Cylinder Shaped Vase or a Clean Empty Can
Double-faced Tape
A Thick Rubber Band
Candy Canes (Approximately 30 per centerpiece, depending on how wide the vase/can is)
Ribbon (Wide enough to cover the rubber band you are using)
Flowers of your choice. Approximately 2 dozen for each centerpiece.(Carnations are shown, but Gerber Daises & Roses will also work)


Instructions


1. Wrap the two sided tape around the vase/can once approximately halfway down the vase/can. (The two sided tape will help keep the candy canes from sliding out from under the rubber band.)


2. Slide rubber band around the vase/can.
3. Take all the Candy Canes out of the plastic and begin inserting the candy cans behind the rubber band.
4. Tie the ribbon around the vase/can taking care to cover the rubber band with the ribbon.
5. Fill vase/can with water and arrange flowers. To continue with the Candy Cane pattern, arrange the flowers in red and white strips as shown in the picture.


There! Now you have a Holiday Centerpiece everyone will be talking about!
