Beach Plant Centerpiece

Supplies:

• Bubble vase
• Sand
• 3 Starfish
• Seashells
• Small vine plant (philodendron)

Directions:

1. Place the starfish so that they stand upright around the inside of the bubble vase.
2. Mix your sand and seashells together.
3. Carefully pour the sand so that it remains mostly around the inside edges and secures the starfish to the sides of the vase, while leaving the middle with a hole.
4. Place your small plant with the original container in the hole at the center of the vase. Fill in around the plant with some sand until it reaches the rim of the pot. Philodendron plants are a good choice for this type of bubble vase centerpiece.

This centerpiece would look lovely in any space in your home that needs that little something to make the area pop. If you have a beach house, this is a must-have piece to add your summer decor.

Simply Elegant Centerpiece

Directions:

• Bubble vase
• Large real flowers in white (gardenias and lilies are a nice choice)
• Pink food dye

Directions:

1. Fill your bubble vase 3/4 full of water. Add and mix a couple of drops of dye to the water.
2. Remove the flower heads from their stems. Also, make sure to remove any leaves that would be touching the water so bacteria won't form.
3. Place one or two white flowers so that they are floating at the top of the vase.

This elegant bubble vase centerpiece would look lovely placed on a shelve, fireplace mantle or table. Wrap a string of battery operated clear lights around the bottom of the vase for added elegance.
