How To Make a Starry Night Wedding Centerpiece

STEP 1 :  Our base consists of a 5 x 7 wooden plaque and Styrofoam block.  Cut the styrofoam block to fit.  Use Royal Blue Acrylic paint and Extra Fine Blue Glitter to cover the edge of the wooden block.As always it’s important to have a strong base.  Allow 20-30 minutes to dry.

Cover Lantern in Glitter and Create Star Embellishments

STEP 2:   Use the same paint and glitter technique to cover your lantern. Create the Star embellishments with Wooden Star Decals and 20 gauge floral wire cut into 3-6 inch sections.  Attach wire to one side of your wooden star with hot glue.  Allow 3-5 minutes to set up.  Next apply Gold Acrylic Paint and Extra Fine Gold Glitter using the same technique as the lantern.  Allow 15-20 minutes to dry.

Helpful Tip!  Prep all the individual elements of the centerpiece first, then put all of the elements together the next day.  Have your family, friends and bridesmaids help you with the prep!

Print Out Crescent Moon Pattern

STEP 3:   Print out a Crescent moon pattern from the internet, resize it for this project approximately 12 inches.  Trace the pattern onto Foam Board then cut out with an Exacto Knife.  Attach two 4inch wooden dowel sections onto the back of the Foam Moon with hot glue. Next apply Gold Acrylic Paint and Extra Fine Gold Glitter using the same technique as the lantern.  Allow 15-20 minutes to dry.  Once dry use the end of a floral pin to punch a whole at the top of the Crescent moon which to string and hang the lantern from.
