DIY Centerpiece (A tutorial)

Hello friends and followers! Old and new, we are so glad to have you here! If you love to decorate, this blog post is for Y.O.U. We are excited to show you a tutorial on how to create a gorgeous centerpiece using greenery and some fruit! We think these turned out amazing, and it was pretty simple.

You just need a few simple supplies for this beautiful arrangement.

1. A container, basket, dough bowl (this is what we used), box, anything shallow and bowl-like will do!
2. Greenery we used several pieces- we will specify in each step.
3. Some pieces of fruit
4. A Styrofoam block

First place a piece of floral Styrofoam the dough bowl.  You do not need to glue it in, it just helps keep some of the greens in place.

To achieve the look of the greens flowing you will need some hanging bushes.  We used a lemon beauty hanging bush.  You want to spread it out and let it hang over the sides, you do not need to put these bushes into the Styrofoam.

Next we used small fern pics, it helps to use different greens because it breaks up the arrangement and adds dimension.  These go into the Styrofoam.

Next we took a maidenhair fern bush and cut into smaller pieces and placed throughout the entire arrangement. These also go into the Styrofoam.

You can use a pair of snips to cut the greens off. They are made of wire so you may need something other than scissors that can cut.

When you have all of the greens in the arrangement you can start adding your fruit!  We used apples in one dough bowl and lemons on the other!  

This greenery is Ahhhhmazing! We just love how realistic it looks.

Another wonderful thing is this greenery is easy to work with.

The apples arrangement is so versatile and can fit with any decor. It can be used in the kitchen, dining room, or living room like we have here!

The lemon arrangement is so fresh and screams spring! We are just in love with yellow this year. Can you tell?

We decided to make this centerpiece the focal point of this sofa table.

Tell us, do you use centerpieces in your everyday decor? We can't decide if we like the apples or lemons. Which do you prefer? We would love to hear from you!
