Maypole Centerpiece

In May we decided to do Maypoles for centerpieces.  It was fun to hear comments from that generation that had actually participated in doing Maypoles at school.

I just used thick cardboard cylinders ( like from plastic wrap or foil) and used Plaster of Paris in the cups to make them sturdy.

The napkin rings were made from Cupcake liners.  

Happy May Day!

Spring Centerpiece- "Let's Go Fly a Kite!"

Guest Post from Doris!

Nothing says SPRING like kites!!   

These centerpieces are pretty self explanatory,  they are a great way to use those small pieces of scrapbook paper you just can't throw away.

I simply glued the paper kites to wire, and then hooked them to squares of fake grass (found at Hobby Lobby).  I also sprinkled spring colored Hershey Kisses for added color.  

A few larger kits were made to hang on the podium, and by the serving table.

My daughter and niece both borrowed them for their Relief Society dinners in March.  They used yellow paper place-mats, and fun napkins to add even more color!
