How To Make DIY Wedding Aisle Pillars
Directions:
STEP 1: First we are going to create our base and our top to our stand. Take a router saw and cut a circle in your two round wood plaques. Add hot glue to each wood plaque circle and attach your coupling fitting to each.
Attach your wooden dowels and spray paint your stand with silver foil spray paint
STEP 2: Next attach your wooden dowels to the base and the top of your stand using hot glue to secure it. Use a level to make sure your wooden dowel is nice and even. Then spray paint your entire stand with silver foil spray paint.
Reconstruct your foam disc
STEP 3: Take one of your 6 inch foam disc, place an LED dome light on top in three different spots and trace around it. You now have 3 circles. Cut out the two outer traced circles with a foam cutter just enough to place your LED dome lights. Cut the entire middle circle out. Now cut your foam in half.
Add your LED dome tealights
STEP 4: Attach your foam to the base by adding hot glue, put 1/2 on one side and the other half on the other side. Next add your LED dome lights to the outer circles. Now attach 4-6 hydrangea heads to cover the top of your base foam disc. Next hot glue another 6 inch foam disc to the top of your stand.
Hot glue your garland gem strands
STEP 5: Cut 14-16 two and 1/2 inch gem strands. Next attach your gem garland about a 1/2 inch apart on your foam disc using floral pins to secure them. Attach 6-8 carnations, 2-4 medium hydrangea heads, 2-4 roses, and 2-4 peonies to the top wedding stand foam disc.
Complete the look of your base foam disc
STEP 6: To the base foam disc, attach the gem strands using floral pins and then attach 6-8 medium hydrangea heads.
MONEY SAVING TIP: One roll of your gem strand can complete 2 wedding aisle pillars and 1 can of spray paint can cover four wedding aisle pillars!!
THE FINAL STEP!
