Rosy CenterpieceThe Simple Rosy Centerpiece
A Lady Montana Design 
 

 

Materials
old bread pan
3-5 very full silk roses w/ leaves
dried moss
5 yards of 1" wide wired ribbon
needle & thread to match ribbon
acrylic paint - 2 contrasting colors*
Quik Crackle
Modge Podge or spray sealer
brush
hot glue gun
 

*Your first coat of paint, which is your base coat, will only show through the cracks. The second coat of contrasting paint is the one which will crackle and be your main color.

Directions

1. Apply a base coat of desired acrylic paint to the outside of the bread pan and let dry.

2. Brush an even coat of Quik Crackle over your base paint and let dry 20 minutes to 1-hour. Wash your brush immediately.

3. Brush on your contrasting color.  It will crackle in seconds. Let dry completely before sealing with Modge Podge or a spray on sealer.

4. Use the hot glue gun to cover the bottom of the bread pan with the dried moss. Let the moss extend beyond the edges a little bit.

5. Arrange your flowers in a row on top of the moss and hot glue in place - gluing at the flower's center base only so you can tuck the leaves under the petals.

6. Arrange the leaves so that they appeared to be tucked under the roses and are extending out and downward. Hot glue in place.

7. Hand baste a line of stitching down the center length of your ribbon. Pull up on the thread until the ribbon length equals the distance around the rim of the bread pan. Knot your thread and cut. Turn under each end of the ribbon. Hot glue the ribbon to the rim of the bread pan.

Note: 2-3 of these lined down the center of a table is most lovely.
