B-Crafty’s son celebrated his birthday this week and this was the personalized Birthday Centerpiece she put together with mostly things she had at home.

Issue #95
Occasion: Birthday
Category: Table Decoration
Materials Needed:
- Short glass vase with marbles or Styrofoam
- 4 objects of memorabilia or pictures of the birthday person
- 10-12 4 inch balloons in a variety of colors
- 3 store bought 9 inch “Happy Birthday” balloons on sticks/ straws

Instructions:
- Place the stick/straw balloons in the vase. (Cut the stick if it is too tall)
- Place the memorabilia and pictures around the sides of the vase to conceal it. (B-Crafty used 2 pictures, one trophy and the framed birth announcement)
- Blow up the small balloons and place them on the top of the vase around the stick balloons
B-Crafty Tip: B-Crafty adds ribbon streamers (curled with a scissor) to the décor by draping them over the chandelier above the table.
