Dollar Tree Centerpiece DIY #1

Lately, I've become lost in the endless Youtube Dollar Tree DIY videos. They've inspired me to bust out my creative side. Long ago and three kids earlier, I was an artistic soul. Well, the kids are no longer babies so guess who has come out to craft? This gal!

This easy DIY requires no sewing, gluing, or bonding of any type. 

Materials used: 

• Plastic dollar tree bowl found in the garden section
• Rocks. Any kind you'd like to fill and anchor the bowl
• fake flowers. These will be cut so length doesn't matter
• Fake votive candle. If you use a real candle make sure it's taller than your flowers and doesn't burn down to the tops of the flowers. (fires are not fun)
• Scissors or wire cutters for the flowers. 

 Step 1: gather these guys and take off any packaging

 Step 2: Place the candle inside the bowl before the rocks. After the rocks have been set around the candle, gently pick up said candle. The rocks that were underneath will fill in the spot to create a flat surface. You can then replace the candle on top of the rocks and it should rest nicely without disturbing the surrounding rocks. (This is so you can turn the battery off and on)

Cut the flowers to the desired length. Wire cutters may work better. I didn't have any on hand but the scissors worked just fine. 

 Step 3: After you've cut the flowers, arrange them inside the bowl and around the candle. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Just have fun with it!

Step 4: Enjoy your new masterpiece! Yes!!! How easy and pretty is this? The best part is that you can change out the flowers and candle with the season. I used the black placemats from my recent Dollar Tree Haul and found some cute leaf coasters hidden away in a drawer.

I hope you all enjoyed this project! I can't wait to work on some more.
