Inspiration Week: Carnation and Rose Centerpieces

I didn't want to have some elaborate flower action going on because I wanted to have a simple, spring, easter, picnic vibe to the party table decor. Simple and easy, have a single rose rest on a base of carnations. The good thing is that carnations are very affordable so you won't break the bank using this flower in your party decor!

 

I decided to go with a trellis pattern with the ribbon decor around the mason jar. I recommend sharp scissors and gloss finish tape. My tip on the diagonal pieces, don't get too particular about accuracy. It takes a lot of time if you do and ends up not really being noticeable on the finished product because the pieces will overlap. Cut one piece that you measure from the jar, then use that piece as your pattern for cutting the rest of the ribbon pieces.

Double stick tape will also help to keep the ribbon in place. I didn't use any and realized that I wish I had some! What other ribbon designs can you think of? Do share!
