How to Make a Tall Floating Vintage Garden Wedding Centerpiece

Directions:

STEP 1: Cut the 3 X 4 inch foam block in half using the foam cutter. Apply high temperate hot glue to the 4 corners of the foam block halves. Then attach foam block halves onto the square 5″wood plaques.

Make the Wedding Centerpiece Legs

STEP 2: Create an indention in both foam blocks using the 3/4″ hardwood dowels. Next apply hot glue to the indented areas and then attach the hardwood dowels. Hold it in place for at least 30 seconds to allow it to dry. You will do this step to both foam blocks. Giving you a total of two legs for your garden wedding centerpiece.

Hot Glue Foam to Both Sides of the Poplar Board

STEP 3: Cut another 3X4 inch block in half. Next mark the halfway point on your poplar board on each side with a black marker using a ruler to find the halfway point. This is so you can glue your foam block halves evenly on each side. Now glue each block half on each corner of your poplar board using hot glue. 

Add Screw Eye Hooks to Poplar Board

STEP 4: Screw in three screw eye hooks to the underside of the poplar board. One in the middle of the poplar and the other two an inch to an inch and a half from each foam disc.

Attach the Legs to the Top of the Wedding Centerpiece

STEP 5: To attach the legs to the top of your wedding centerpiece, flip one of legs from Step 2 over. Use the hardwood dowel of the leg to make an indention in the foam disc on one side of the top portion of your wedding centerpiece.

Remove the hardwood dowel and fill the hole with hot glue. Now replace the hardwood dowel and hold it in place for a minimum of 30 seconds. Repeat this step to the other side of the top portion using your other wedding centerpiece leg.

Spray paint the entire garden wedding centerpiece gold and then allow it to dry. 

Tip: Place a level on top of each leg to ensure they are centered.

  1. Good Afternoon Miss Plan It:

    Happy Wedding Wednesday. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your Channel & Videos and I follow you religiously. I was trying to see what the cost of recreating this Centerpiece was for you once you gathered all your supplies. Where do I find that information at? 🤔

  2. Hello!!! Thank you so much. I appreciate all the love. The total cost was $87.08. Some supplies will cover more than 1 centerpiece. Also the price fluctuates depending on what coupon discounts are available when I purchase all the supplies!
