Centerpieces - DIY style

Reception time! Our destination wedding is behind us, and now it's time to celebrate with all the friends and family back home! But that means planning... and decorating... and lots and lots of stuff to do and a lot of that stuff costs money... So luckily for me, I have more time than I have money right now, so DIY projects it will be! They give such a personal touch to events, which is exactly what we're all about.

The supplies:

-white school glue
-food colouring
-water
-twine
-assorted glass bottles, vases, and jars


The glassware


The supplies

**The mixture:
           add 4 parts glue to 1 part water and a few drops of food colouring - adjust amounts to your        satisfaction

**Paint your glassware - don't worry about it looking perfect when it's wet, it will dry nicely :)  Just beware of drips. And let dry thoroughly before moving on

Get your twine ready!

**Paint on glue where you want twine to be and begin wrapping! Extra glue will be needed at the ends and may need to be held down so it doesn't unravel. And beware - do not rub too hard on the jars as the paint will pull off. 


Wanna see the finished product?!

Tada!

Can't wait to get these on the tables with some flowers and pinwheels in them!
