I'm kicking off the week with a super EASY do-it-yourself craft. Not only is this craft easy, but it is cheap! Especially if you have some of the pieces already.
I made two (one for me and one for my mom), so you will see the supplies for both.
1. 1/2 gallon mason jar
2. Spanish Moss
3. Fall flowers
4. Fall embellishments
5. 1/2 paper towel roll
2. Spanish Moss

5. 1/2 paper towel roll
6. Raffia
The next step...use your imagination! I used the paper towel roll so my flowers would be more stable. You do not need to do this. It just depends on what kind you use. I used a plastic spoon to hold the roll in the center while I added the moss.
I think they turned out cute! The one on the left is mine and the right is my moms. Both of these together cost $15 because EVERYTHING was on sale at Hobby Lobby. You NEVER pay full price at Hobby Lobby. :) If you do have a full price item make sure to print off their 40% coupon from the website!
What do you think? Did my $15 and 30 minutes pay off? To purchase an already made centerpiece I would be paying way more. I have found that it pays off to do crafty projects yourself!
