DIY: Tissue Pomander Centerpieces

Posted by Aylee

February 9, 2010

In the beginning, I was planning to DIY my centerpieces. Recently, our plans changed and decided to hire a florist instead. But I totally forgot to show you the mock-up I did when I was still planning to DIY the centerpieces. So here they are…

Cost Breakdown:
Tissue paper = free (I have in stock – yes I do have that many)
2 3″ styrofoam balls ($2.88/6) = $0.96
2 4″ styrofoam balls ($3.52/4) = $1.76
1 7″ candelabra = $9.99 – 20% discount
1 9″ candelabra = $12.99 – 20% discount
table letter = $1.99

TOTAL (per table) = $12.70-$22.69 + tax

I loved making the tissue pomanders. And now that I have tissue pomanders lying around, I decided to use them during the cocktail hour.

Omg! I love them so much. Those are my favorite kinds of centerpieces, but I could never get down making the tissue paper pomanders so I kind of gave up on them.

Love it! So classy, modern and clean. I’m booking marking this entry

Also, just wondering what your reasons were for going with a florist instead. If you’d prefer, you can email me at dansbride52911@gmail.com

Thank you ladies!

Ashley… they do take a while. I guess that’s one reason why I decided to go with a florist

Kristina… the main reason I decided not to do it is transporting them from NY to Newport. They’re very bulky (including the other decors I want to DIY) and I don’t have enough space in our vehicles to put them in. I will have to rent another vehicle which will cost me more than $500. In the end, the savings is not that great. So I decided to hire a florist and not worry about it
