I was asked if I can make a centerpiece for a party someone is throwing during the Halloween season and to incorporate a "graduation" theme to the piece! After some hemming and hawing (and 9 centerpieces later) here are they are!
get a load of the close-up of the crow - I made him wear the "graduation" cap!
I actually had fun creating these pieces - I spray painted the baskets, found those great branches at Pier 1. I then proceeded to put Styrofoam in the basket placed the stick off center and place the grass around. Next I hot glued several glittered leaves and the pumpkins on the grass. Lastly the graduation hat - since it's off season for graduation hats I improvised...I saved the center from the paper towels and some card board - cut the roll approx. 1" and then the cardboard 3 x 3. Painted it black. For the center of the cap I used a LaMode black shank button #20752. With embroidery floss I made the tassel. So I improvised just a tad!
So thanks for stopping in again...
Happy Crafting...
