the crafty ring

There is something about a blooming centerpiece that just makes me smile.  It makes a table come alive and a dinner feel a little more special…   and, it adds that extra touch to another night of chicken and green beans!

Instructions (Print version)

1. Cut stems to a short length, just below the bloom. 
2. Using the 3-in-1 Fastener, add Floral picks to any stems that might need added support to be placed.
3. Add a dab of glue to secure them in place permanently.
4. Begin adding in your stems in a random pattern, filling in a section at a time, turning the ring as you go.  This will give you a full, but not too unified or patterned, appearance. 
5. Serve at the center of your next family meal – even if it is just cereal and juice!
