autumn centerpieceA little tutorial on making Fall themed centerpiece with pilar candle and leaf wreath. For my wedding (10/10/10), I relied on handmade decoration as we had a small wedding with about 25 guests. This was my centerpiece design for the reception tables. My wedding theme was Fall/Autumn as it was in October. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect weather! :) Anyway, I think this design would make a great Thanksgiving Centerpiece too. Very Easy to make and all of this for under $15.



Materials:
- Autumn leaves wreath (you can find it in craft stores)
- Grossgrain plastic ribbon (the kind that can curl when you run it with scissors)
- Pillar candle; 7.5 cm diameter (almost 3 inch)
- Wired Butterflies


Tools:
- Scissors
- Ruler, if needed.


How to Make Fall Themed Centerpice:

1. Prepare your materials. I got most of mine from Hobby Lobby. Watch for discounts!

2. Take one butterfly and wrap the wire around one of the leaves on the wreath. Make sure it's secured.

3. Place another 3 butterflies around the wreath with even spacing (or not). Whatever you think is best.

4. Cut 3 pieces of ribbon, each is about a foot long. Doesn't have to be exact. Pointy ends and the difference in length add up organic touch.

ribbons


5. Grab three of them and tie around the leaves in between 2 butterflies. Continue adding ribbons to your heart's desire. You can leave it straight or curl them. In the end i combined both.

6. Place the candle in the middle and you're DONE!

finished

Super easy to make and you can't go wrong!! Fool proof design :3 You can even make this centerpiece for every season just by changing the leaves to snow/christmas/summer/spring wreath and use coordinating colors of candles and ribbons.


I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial. I'm sorry the picture couldn't be any clearer due it was a cloudy day when I took these shots.

I have the MOST beautiful bracelet on my wrist.. THANK YOU so very much. Your craftsmanship and imaginative designs are fabulous..... Next to my wedding ring, my favorite piece of jewelry!! ! Melissa Vess.



Dear Kharisma, today the package finally arrived and I just wanted to let you know that the pendant is absolutely beautiful. For the last years I've worn the golden cross my grandmother gave to me for my Holy Communion but since she died three years ago, I've always been afraid of losing it which would have really hurt me. So I looked for a cross that I could wear instead and when I found the one you made, I was blown away. And what can I say, it was definitely worth the wait. So thank you so much for making such wonderful jewelry and keep up the good work! Best wishes from Germany, Ricarda



Wow! is incredible! This is the money better spent on any gift I've ever done! I think I can not wait to give it to my wife until May 5th or I dare before. And the presentation with the box and the paper inside is great! I almost cry when I saw it. It is the most beautiful of all I've seen, I love the detail of the heart. Surely this is the better gift for the fifth anniversary of my wedding. Thank you very much for the patience you had with the design. I hope to do business with you in the future. Thank you very much for everything! ~ Cesar
