Cheers! to a New Centerpiece

centerpiece, diy, craft, event, shower
I've been planning my cousin's feminine baby shower for a few months now, and I've been tossing around centerpiece ideas in my head. I stumbled upon this cutesy DIY centerpiece yesterday and am quite sure it will make the perfect girly statement for the event!

The tutorial is pretty self-explanatory and seems easy as baby-shower-pie. Simply thrift an old candelabra, gather a few teacups and purchase plenty of craft glue (my favorite is Elmer's). I think it'd be fun to spray-paint the entire centerpiece a bright teal or yellow lacquer so the look really pops.

If you can't find any candelabras or teacups at the local thrift shops, eBay is always a tremendous resource. Just be sure to bid on inexpensive designs if you plan to spray-paint it.

When you've finished your project, fill the teacups with nuts, chocolate-covered strawberries, mints, or even candles. Your guests will love your ingenuity, and the best part? You've finally found a use for all of your mismatched china!
